Again, Derek |has a link to where there is help for this. |As for Linux to windows filesharing (i.e. the other way round, cos samba |doesn't do both to my knowledge), I use Komba2 to mount my |Windows machines' files. | WHAAAAAT????? Check out SMBClient and SMBMount... All Komba2 does is invoke these programs, which are part of Samba. I.E. "smbclient -L \\Windowsmachine -U Validuser " Where "validuser" is a username that you have used at least once at your Winblows box to log into the network. (this is important!). If you can do this Samba will let you utilize Winblows printers from Linux, even WinPrinters (read brain damaged printers)! Lisa/Reslisa let's Konqueror BROWSE Winblows shares as well. -JMS
