Hi all,

I have my MDK 9.1 box connected to our Windows network here at work 
using
Samba.  From a windows box I can see my linux box on the network.

Using Samba alone should I be able to browse the windows network?  
Currently
I dont seem to be able to.

If yes can I log onto the Windows network from my linux box and 
browse the
network?

If I can use Samba for that then what is LinNieghborhood used for?

Thanks from a newbie.

Hi Scott,

In order to browse the Windows network you would be using 
LinNeighborhood and Samba together. LN would use the SambaClient to 
access the negotiate the connection to the windows network. For this 
all that is necessary is to have the Samba-client package installed on 
your machine. LinNeighborhood would do the rest.


Do you mean that once we install LinNeighborhood we can do all of that 
without the need for SWAT and WEBMIN?

Thanx,

something like that because all you need is the samba client and 
LinNeighborhood
