You probably want to set up and install Samba on your Linux box.
Samba permits Linux to participate in MS Winblows networking.
The NT/Win2k boxes will be able to interact with Linux like another
Winblows machine.
Setting up Samba is far less complicated than it looks. Often merely
editing the included sample configuration file is enough to get it
running properly... Then making/adding user accounts (smbadduser &
smbpasswd).

Subject: [newbie] Integrating Linux and NT network
I know I sound like a moron...but I'm having trouble finding the info I
need. If anyone knows a doc or a website that will help me, let me
know.
I'm setting up a server to be a web/e-commerce server. Right now I just
want it to work on the local network. All the other machines are W2K or
WinNT4. I need to be able to talk to them and transfer files. Is the
simplest way to transfer the files just to FTP them over? (Note: I can
ping everybody from both sides.) The info I have read on sharing drives
and such in Linux have confused me. (I think it's just a vocabulary
issue.)
I don't want to flaunt my ignorance here...but I need some help. ANyone
no a really good source for Sys Admins from the M$ world moving to *nix?
Thanks in advance...
Peter
