You need to describe your network architecture a little more....
Do you have a webserver (i.e. Apache, etc) running on your UNIX machine? Which flavour of UNIX are you running? Also; is this intended for use as a true internet site (i.e. accessible externally of your LAN), or is it just an intranet site (i.e. accessible from within your LAN only)? Are you serving web pages from the UNIX box, or do you serve from a Windows machine (I ask this as you mention I.E.).
For example - a possible scenario - say I have a Windows host (192.168.1.1) and a Linux host (192.168.1.2). The Windows host is running IIS (the Intranet site is running on this machine), and the Linux host is running Apache. Then, I can place the text file into the Apache DocumentRoot directory (/srv/www/htdocs, whatever), and then place the link to the file thusly...
<a href="http://192.168.1.2/mytextfile.txt">blah</a>
If you are hosting the web pages from the UNIX machine that the text file is on, then it's as easy as linking to the text file using a path such as
<a href="/path/under/htdocs/to/file/mytextfile.txt">blah</a>
Again, you need to provide a lot more information about your network, how you serve your webpages, and where the text file is located on the UNIX machine. This is all speculative.....
