Networking w/ Win98



Okay, I have my system up, my ethernet NIC installed, and am getting to like this.
 
However, I was playing with the network utilities, trying to figure out how to link to our local Win95/98
Ethernet-10 network, and having little to no success.  Part of the reason, I suspect, is that the Win95/98
network has NetBeui / SPX-IPX protocols (some also have TCP/IP, though that is currently useless ),
whereas my Linux system looks like it wants NFS.  Now, I did install TCP/IP with the Linux box as its
own domain name server. 
 
So anyhow, I'm wondering:  what's the best way to get Linux boxes linked to Win boxes?  And is there
a good HOWTO on Networking with Linux/Unix?  (also related... where can I get to a web-based list of
HOWTO's?) 
 
I'm sorry I'm such a newbie; but I have only two books on Linux with me, and 2 books on the generalities
of networks, so I have to ask questions.
