I would like to access the W98SE box (HP Pavillion 510w that will NOT
run Linux) and two XP boxes.

I do not know the magic incantations to get Linux to even see a 
computer on the home network.  When I try to put the name in
/etc/hosts and try to access it that way, all I get is "connection 
refused".

Suggestions?
