What are "Net Resources"? if you mean shares of files and printers then the
SAMBA suite is what you're looking for. This suite also enables the Linux
machines to serve these resources.
SAMBA comes as part as most recent Linux distribution, Therefor I assume it
is already installed on your machine. man "smbmount", "smbclient" and "smbd"
for help.
You may also want to take a look in the SAMBA-HOWTO which should reside
somewhere under /usr/doc/HOWTO or on the net (http://www.samba.org is a good
guess)
>2.how can i use the proxy server? is there a proxy client for linux?
A proxy server is always used in refernce to a certain protocol or
protocols. Since you did not spciefy which protocol you're talking about I
am going to assume you refer to the most common HTTP and FTP proxies.
As with any other OS I know to use a proxy you must have a client program
that supports this operation and you configure the use of the proxy server
from the client. Example: to use Netscape with the proxy server edit the
proxy settings in the preferences (shock! ;-) for command line programs
(like wget or ncftp) i think there exists an enviorment variable, something
like HTTP_PROXY that you should set to your proxy server name and por
(something like http://proxy.dom.co.il:8080), but I am not sure...
>3.can i browse the network neighbourhood from linux? how?
Again, the SAMBA suite. see my answer to the first question.
