How do I see my Linux computer from Network Neighborhood? (#941)
To see your shared resources on your Linux computer from Network Neighborhood, you will have to set up a Samba/SMB server. First you will have to download the SAMBA files. To can obtain these from the Samba Home Page. Then configure the Samba Server, that is the one that you will need in order for your Windows 95/98 machines to view and access shared resources on your Linux machine, you will need to configure the /etc/smb.conf or /etc/samba/smb.conf (for Red Hat) file. This is every simple and descriptions are all inside the file. Then make an account using useradd account name and change the password using passwd account name. Remembering that this must be done as root. Then run testparm to check that the smb.conf file is configured correctly. Next, run smbpasswd -a account name you're ready to start up Samba. To start it up, type: smbd -D nmbd -D or /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start for Red Hat users. feedback form by howe81
How do I share Linux resources? (#942)
Edit the /etc/smb.conf or /etc/samba/smb.conf for Red Hat users and include your share directories. The smb.conf file explains the syntax. feedback form by howe81
How would I access Linux shares from Windows? (#1162)
You could do this from Network Neighborhood or My Network Places in Windows ME/2K like browsing through My Computer. You could also do it via the command prompt by issuing this command: net use s: \\SAMBA server\share name Replace s: with the drive you would like to map the SAMBA shares under. Now, go into My Computer and you will see a new mapped drive of your SAMBA shared folder/directory. feedback form by howe81
How do I access Windows shared resources? (#943)
To list Windows shares use: smbclient -L computername -U user To mount a Windows shared directory use: smbmount //computername/shared resource name /mnt/mount point -o username=user To access Windows shared directory use: smbclient //computername/shared resource name -U user feedback form by howe81
How come I cannot see my Linux computer from Windows 2000? (#1125)
The following information was taken from the Samba FAQ, this might explain why: Samba 2.2.0 + Win2K SP 2 or WinXP With Service Pack 2 Microsoft have added some new RPC calls and uses them to join the domain, the same RPC calls are found on Windows XP Beta release. Samba 2.2.0 does not have this new set of RPC calls and this make problems to Win2000-sp2 and winXP. Samba Team have yet fixed this bug in CVS tree and it will be solved in samba-2.2.1 for both Win2000-sp2 and WindowsXP If you upgrade your SAMBA package to a newer version, this issue should be resolved. feedback form by howe81
Where else can I find information about Samba? (#1124)
More information about Samba can be found at the Samba Home Page or this link to take you to the Samba documentation section. Also read the Samba HOWTO from Linuxdoc.org. feedback form by howe81
