smokin Linux Network

OK. I'm all set up with TurboLinux running on my slowest machine and have 2 networked PCs running XP Pro. How do I go about getting the Linux machine on the network for printer sharing, etc?? Will Linux and Windows "play nice together" on a network??

now that you have it working, you really need to do the study part to learn how it all works together,
right now I have my linux box sharing the networked printer with my lan also the internet and that is about as far as I have gotten so far,
look see if you have the user manual and print it out as you will be doing a lot of reading now

First, I suggest you take some time to learn how to use Linux, then you can use Samba to share printers and files with Windows.

You can find a good guide to start using Samba here.
