Hi, I would supply more information, but since my last attempt to get it to work(a couple of weeks ago and before I joined this list), I have some how completely broken it. I can't see my Samba server from the NT/Win95 side now at all. I am going to start from scratch again and see what happens. If I get completely stuck again, I will document errors and all and submit them. I appreciate all the responses from everyone. This leaves me very hopeful that I will get this up and going with everyone's help. Thanks. Teresa Greg Thomas wrote:
Need a bit more info here. What arguments are you giving to smbmount when you try to mount a Windows share from Linux? Also, for Dave's Mac issue he would need to install client software on the Macs to access Windows shares (I believe one of the programs is called Dave).

I too have had problems with that. I have been able to get my Windows machines to see and work with my box but I can not get my linux box to do it the other way around. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

I've got a bit of a problemette at the moment. Our network is an amalgamation of Windows 9x, Windows NT (Workstation and Server), SuSE Linux and MacOS machines. The Windows machines are all on a TCP/IP ethernet, with the MacOS machines on their own little AppleTalk network. The Linux machines are NFS/NIS sharing to each other. I'd like to integrate all of the different networks into one, so that all of the resources are sharable.
I've begin to do this by moving over to TCP/IP. I've been trying to use Samba, and have successfully managed to get Windows to connect to a Linux machine. The other way around, however, is a big no-no. I can't, and I've tried many times, to get Linux to access a Windows share. I have yet to try it with MacOS, but expect the same, if not more, problems.
Any suggestions as to how I can get the Linux boxes to see Windows? I need all of the machines, and can't move them all to Linux (much to my despair). Any help would be appreciated!
