There are no pbs mounting a samba share exported from linux on an NT machine
or even Win9x. The only pb is the authorization. On NT it lets you pick the username
and the password at connection time. On Win9x, it always uses the name you logged in
with and let you pick only the password. Better to have an authorized user on the
Linux machine with the name you use for loggin into your Winbucks box.
As how to do it : as you would do when mounting another NT share : network neigborhood
icon/connect drive. You should see your Linux box exported by samba in the choices.
