Dear Linda, Normally, smbmount or smbclient would be the way to go. In this case, you will have to start by making sure you have access to the Windows network from home, through some sort of VPN or Telnet tool. Once that has been set up, probably by your sysadmin, then, assuming you can reach your desktop on the Windows network, you should have no problem using smbclient or smbmount to access the drive. Do man smbclient to find out more information, or see the Samba website at http://www.samba.org. Sliante, Richard S.
