It's been a while, but I don't think you need to install a Samba server
on Windows. I've never had to install anything on Windows to share a
folder or access folders from other Windows boxes or Linux boxes running
a Samba server. You just need to set up a home group in Windows.

agent who was helping said he didn't know enough to proceed. If I go to
the Samba website, what should I do?
Thanks,

Ditto. I've also only every used Samba for this.
Note, however, that once you have Samba set up, you can perfectly access
the Windows folder from the Linux command line. Look at the man pages
for the following:
smbclient
smbget
Good luck!

I have always done this with samba. I never found it particularly
difficult. You do have to read/follow the instructions.

I'll be interested in the answer to that question myself. I've had some tell
me I need to use samba to do that...I've never been able to make it work.

I'm going to set up a folder called c:\share on my Windows machine. I
want to set up a device on my Linux machine which is connected with this
folder over my LAN. I know that this can be done, because I had
something similar at one time. However, i'm not certain how to do it
again. If I remember, it just took an entry in fstab and an entry in
/dev. Thanks.
