2. Re the "telnet-into-the-MS-workstation;" someone on the list will be able to help with configuring your windows box to allow this.
3. Having your machines on speaking terms an issue involves
- creating shares of your drives on the windows machine - Creating a user on the windows machine for your Linux machine - installing (if it's not already installed) and configuring SAMBA - mounting the windows drive from your linux machine/mounting the linux drive on the W2K machine

What happens when you open a browser window and try to surf to
Could not connect
?
BTW, Stephen, you needn't (shouldn't) cc me and the list - means I get two copies, which is unnecessary. ***I'm still rather incompetent and would ask others on the list to review what I am saying here and chime in where I am wrong, and to take this to the next level!*** What I would do would be this: First make sure that SAMBA is actually installed. do rpm -q samba and see if you get something like nick@linux:~> rpm -q samba samba-2.2.7a-72 And while you're at it, see if apache is installed, too. If not, then go into Yast and have your Suse disks ready to go and install Samba. If it is installed, see if samba is running: Yast -> System -> Runlevel Editor -> Runlevel properties DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING IN HERE YET. Just scroll down until you see smb (it's alphabetical) and see if it's running. If not, make it run. Try browsing to localhost:901 again. If you get "could not connect," or some such complaint, surf to 127.0.0.1 and see what happens (you may just see "index of /" - that would be good and mean that apache is running.) If that doesn't work ping localhost or ping 127.0.0.1 If nothing comes back, find out if apache is even installed: rpm -q apache and you should get something like nick@linux:~> rpm -q apache apache-1.3.27-82 If not, install it. You can start apache by doing /etc/init.d/apache start Then open a browser window and try all this again and let us know what happens. Folks, I'm getting out of my depth can others chime in here? Thanks! Nick
