    Linux Network Toolkit comes with a Red Hat 5.0 CD-ROM. In additon, the author provides hisown firewall and other scripts. The book is oriented towards getting Windows 95 machines connected to a Linux server on a local network, the local network to the Internet and then managing the enterprise. Samba is used as the glue that ties the local network together to allow the Windows machines to access the Linux server's file and printer services. The Linux programs PPP, diald, IPFWADM and IP masquarading are used to safetly and securely connect the local network to the Internet.
