Have now a lan (of sorts) at work and a wan across the county and country (the latter is secure and not accessible from home {yet}). Silly newbie quetion now I am afraid. How do I go about accessing the hard drives of the win98 machines also at the office. I have good access to the router and one of the servers (which only serves a single app, accessible best from console) and am fine out on the web via the router and several secure waypoints. Which stuff do I need to install and configure in order to file browse and back-up to the other office machines, ditto to use their printers?
If you want to access resources like disk space and printers from Windows boxes, use Samba. It includes "smbmount", which enables you to mount Windows shared network drives on local directories. If you want to print to a shared windows printer, use YaST to configure this.
