Hi, The place where I am working has an windows intranet and all the printers and file servers are shared on the local network. My question: is it possible to access to them from a linux OS?

As long as you have legal access to the Windows intranet

What do you mean by this? As long as the network uses TCP/IP any computer can connect to it. There is -no- legal anything to prevent it. There is only company policy to prevent it. Microsoft has no say in the matter.

I was speaking of legal in the sense of being allowed access via the Windows network in Windows shares :-) Not legal as in 'the law of the land'. Company policy might not even come into it. It would be down to the system administrator who has access to what files/directories/printers etc. Company policy may well dictate that a lowly office clerk will not have access to hidden CEO's files. The system admin may be a good friend and grant access though ;-) I am unfortunately the lowest office worker in this company. :-( D** it, I can not even send email to outside.
