Hi, 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? many thanks Francesco -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

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.

Hey, Lenz. Speaking of samba... you might want to consider including that nifty little proggie called LinNeighborhood. I grabbed it and tried it out. It's quite simple and relatively straightforward. Sure simplifies setting up samba shares. That's for sure. Give it a try and lemme know what ya think about it, if you haven't already. -- Brad Shelton On Line Exchange http://online-isp.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Just checked the page, looks nice! I will put it on my wish list. No promises...
