Hi:
I am new to Linux. Just set one up at home and very excited about it. Now I want to network it with my NT box, Windows 95, and my Novell server.
Can someone help me with this?
Can I use just ipx/spx? Does Linux support IPX/SPX, if so how do I set it up?
Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Next Question:
In Windows environment, in order to find out who's on the network, you can double-click on the Network Neighborhood. Is there such utility in Linux, i.e, how do I find out who's who on the network not to mention Ping or Finger?
Thanks in advance for the help.

you need to use SAMBA and then use the "smbmount" command where you specify the local directory of your remote clients/files. this will give you the opp. to automount these later. but dont. only mount when you need them. 
smbmount //your_Win_PC/Directory /where_you_wanna_mount -u <username> -p password
you can just mount and let it prompt you though
you must create a directory to reflect the local mount point!

To network your Linux box with NT you have 2 main options: Samba or NFS. Linux supports most networking protcols including IP, IPX, AppleTalk (unfortunately), and NetBIOS.
I'd advise against using NFS because it can create a lot of security holes and to my knowledge there aren't any free NFS programs for Windows. NFS is better suited to run between *nix boxes.
Samba is a free program that makes a Linux box appear as an NT box on the network using NetBIOS. Using a GUI like SWAT can make configuration a lot more fast and easy. You can dowload Samba, and get a lot of good documentation at samba.org.
