Hello All,

	Just a question with Linux and Win 95 machine on a network...

I have a Linux box and also a W95 box connected with 2 ether cards & cable
etc and i want to access the files on the Windows 95 machine while I am in 
Linux and also access the Linux machines hard drive while i am in W95 (dunno
if this can be done .. the W95 -> linux one).

	I have heard of people using things like samba and other things etc,
but i would just like some input into what is best for this situation, and what
is required on both sides...

	My main objectives is to just read the disk partitions on both
machines, ie. mount the W95's drives from my linux box if possible? .. or 
just setup a network and use ftp if it cant be done by mounting or an
equivelent..

thanks..
In anticipation.

PS: I have this in rc.inet1,
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK} what
else do I need and where are the networking and ether FAQ's or setup docos? :)
