[pchelpers] Connecting Ubuntu to local LAN

Ubuntu is great at accessing the internet, but when it comes to a local 
network it seems to speak a foreign language. For instance, I have a win 
98 machine on the local network that was used to write my novel. It has 
been kept using netbeui up to now for privacy reasons. Its local TCP 
address is either 10.0.0.2 or 192.168.0.12 (there are 2 network cards in 
it).

Drive D: has been shared over the network on TCP and NETBEUI.

The question is obviously how to have it rejoin the network so Ubuntu 
can see the shared files. Is there a reasonable way to do this?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
