Hi there!
I apologize for my bad english.
I want to use a linux machine (Corel linux 1.1) in a win NT network environment.
OK, I installed Samba server, I can browse the network, but I cannot use the printers, the mail or connect to Internet
In the network I have an NT print server, Exchange server for mail, and a linux server as a proxy for Internet (Squid)
So far I have lynx as the Internet browser installed.
What settings I have to make in order to use all this ?
If somebody knows this please tell me !

Thank you.
 
Are all of those servers described in your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf files on the linux machine? When they are try pinging the IP addresses for them to ensure linux sees them. Define them in samba (use swat it's easier). And then you'll have to read up on the smbmount and smbprint commands.

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
