a better solution is to install the tcp/ip stack on the 95 machines that
comes with win95, and install and configure samba on the linux box. there
should be a samba rpm on the install cd (or wherever you installed from)

Hi,

I have a RedHat 5.0 linux distribution installed on my computer. I tried
to configure Ethernet network via TCP/IP. I can do a telnet on myself with
''Telnet 127.0.0.1'' (on the LInux machine). Now, I would like to access my
server with another machine who have Windows 95 via an Ethernet network. I
can do a ping from Windows 95 to Linux, an in other way ( from Linux to
Windows 95 ). I reed some howto and other things and I know that I can use
Pcnfsd. So, I was go on Intergraph site to keep an evaluation copy of
DiskAccess, who can mount nfs files et access it via the icon Network in
Win95. But, when I tried to install Linux_pcnfsd2.gz I had some problems.
So, HOW CAN I ACCESS MY LINUX SERVER WITH A WINDOWS 95 SYSTEM. Also, can you
tell me where can i get information about Pcnfsd ( the software ( clients
and server ) and some howto, or indication to install and use it)

Thank you !

You might want to try a program call Xwin32. It's a X windows client for windows
that allows you to open xterms on win boxes. You can also open all the X apps
like control panel and Network configurator. It's actually pretty cool, I have
it set up so that I can do all the administration of my RH5 box, from my NT
workstation. The linux box just sits in the closet. If you think this will help
let me know I can give you more details.

You probably want to check out SAMBA instead. Free. Included with Red
Hat (as well as most other distributions) Requires no additional
Windows software, just setting up TCP/IP addresses (which you have
already done). and works just like any other Lan Manager type network.
I looked at Pcnfsd, was disappointed in the usability for me. Samba
works well for file and print sharing with Win based machines.
