**ALERT** **ALERT** **TECHNICAL QUESTION**
I am working in an office for a couple of months and I want to connect my laptop to the local windows network. I want to be able to view shared folders on the network (peer-to-peer TCP/IP win98) and to be able to access the shared HP laser printer.
I don't need to give anyone access to my computer.
Should I be looking to samba to solve this or should I be looking elsewhere?
TIA,
Jethro
yes. Samba coems with a bunch of tools / programs to work the other direction, namely from linux to windows. like smbmount, smbclient. be careful with the term smbmount, since SMB shares can be mounted directly now. Dig the man pages. ;-) Juergen
