I also attach to a network that uses MS too, and have really liked LinNeighborhood, which works much like Network Neighborhood in Windows. under LM 9.0 it was a little different to setup than in earlier versions, but I can see any and all boxes and printers shared on the network just fine. and you can set it to remount them each time you log on to your linux box. here's the link < http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/ > make sure you setup samba to use the same domain as the network ( though this shouldn't be necessary, It works better ) also I tried to use the Mandrake firewall, but it kills the network connections for some reason I'm still looking into. once I tried without ever setting up the firewall, I could connect to the network fine. then I set up firestarter for the firewall and all is fine. If you are trying 8.0 or 8.2 it will be easier, but there is an additional thing you need to do to make Linneighborhood work properly in these versions, in /usr/bin in 8.0 and /usr/sbin in 8.2 ( I think ) where ever smbmnt and smbumount are , you will need to do a chmod +s smbmnt ( as well as ) smbumount then it works.
any questions, mail me off list and I'll try to help. though I'm no guru. ;-) -- Mike McNeese 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같 currently triple booting win98lite Mandrake versions 8.0 and 8.2 and testing 9.0 - Linux registered user # 248955 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같 "If obstacles are all we see, then we've lost sight of our goal!" > On Tuesday 15 October 2002 07:14 am, Andy Weller wrote: > > Dear all, > > > > My University loves M$, to the highest degree!
