How can I see my linux box on my network neighbourhood. I am using a linksys dhcp router which supplies all my machines with IP addresses, the Linux box can access the net and so can the windows pc's but they can't see each other. What should I do?

There is a software package that is available on Linux and other UNIX systems called Samba. Its function is to provide file and printing services for the Windows environment. If you set your system up to use Samba, you should then be able to make resources on your Linux system available and viewable to users of the "Network Neighborhood".

This Web page should give you enough information to do what you want to do. If not, send me some Email, and I'll try to help you out.
