I have a Linksys 4 port hub cable/dsl router. I want to know if I could network my linux with my win98. Now I have an Apache server running on the Linux side and want to be able to see this server from my win98 side. How do I configure this?

I'm assuming with my apache server I'm running a small intranet server. Now, how do I let my win98 see it?

Is this even possible?

thanks in advance.

Yup it's possible...

Your win98/95/ME/2000/NT can see the linux web server via IP at this time.
i.e. if your win98 Ip is 10.10.10.100 and your linux ip is 10.10.10.101 then you would type http://10.10.10.101 to see your linux server.

You can also setup a DNS on your Linux server... you'll need somthing like nameD or Name Daemon or BIND http://www.isc.org/bind.html that can act as your Primary DNS.
This way you can create an internal domain like... intranet.home where the .home becomes the .com so you can add 10.10.10.101 IP as an "A" record of intranet so when you type http://intranet.home then it will hit your linux server.

Also if you register a real domain or want others on the internet to see your linux web server then just go into the LinkSys Router and open up Port 80 and point it to the Linux Server.

That's it.
Read about DNS and BIND, then re-read this message... it'll get clearer as you re-read it again.
