Bingo, I had my windows box set to obtain a IP address dynamically, just gave it an IP address and set the subnetmask the same as the Linux box and I can now ping both ways...
This is the default stance for a Win98 box.
Still not getting a LINK light on my Windows Box, but I entered the Linux box IP in my browser and got the Apache home page, but still no link light.
Hmm, well, if you're able to ping both ways, you just have a dead link light.
I guess my next step to be able to map a drive in Windows explorer is to set up DNS? Then set up Samba?
Mmm, you shouldn't need DNS. You can map a share to an IP address if you want and DNS is just going to complicate the issue. I'm still trying to get Samba working properly myself; I found useful information at the samba website and in the O'Reilly Samba book. I was actually able to map and browse a remote Win98 machine by using the Samba docs, but I haven't gotten printing working. Use Swat, the web based configuration utility for Samba. Good luck.
