Yes, but you will need a little configuration first. As root, look at /etc/samba/smb.conf. First, copy the file to smb.conf.orig, because there is a lot of useful hints and tips in it. Then read it carefully, cutting out bits that don't apply to your network - there will be a lot of it. Early on you will find a line that names your network - make sure that it matches the network name on the windows box, and remember that case sensitivity can be a problem. Then you will need to add yourself (and anyone else on the lan that needs to access the other box) to samba-users. Many people like webmin for doing that. It's not installed by default, but does give you a useful gui. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 (http://counter.li.org/) Mandriva hints & tips: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
