On both the Client and Server, you have to make sure that all your hosts are properly defined. Both on Linux, and Win95, there are the following files (on the win95 machine, you will find them in the windows directory). host, networks, lmhosts, (there are a couple of others as well, but it's been awhile since I set it up here:). On the linux side, you will find those files in /etc.
At any rate, check those files and make sure that your hosts are defined on both sides.
The next thing to do is to set up a proxy server on Linux. When I first set my network up, I used apache and used port 80 as the proxy port. Lately however, I've been playing a bit with squid and have found that setting up port 3128 (default) works just as good. Squid seems to work a little bit better since it handles caching a bit better than Apache does:-) However, Apache can handle the different protocols easier (gopher, ftp, etc) whereas squid seems to want an external application to handle ftp requests.
As far as the mail goes, you will have to set up your linux box as a mail server, as the mail won't go thru a proxy server:-( As far as that goes, I've got fetchmail set up to pull in the mail from my IP and then sendmail distributes it to the various users who can pick it up at their leisure:-)
That's pretty much it in a nutshell:-)
What would I need to do on the client side and server side to make this work? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Paul
