Once you've got networking working (which means a NIC module, I guess), all you need is a userspace program called Samba. Of course there's a Debian package, and the docs are good. Works here.

Thanks! Re: Which Kernel for 3c905B Network Cards?
Thank you all for the help in regards to the 3-Com network card and the kernels. It was for an off-list friend who is trying to set up a network in a high school here, in Colorado. I am running the 2.1.132 kernel, myself, but there are a couple of 3c905B cards here, waiting to be installed, too. :-) Art

I have a machine here with two 3c509's in it, there's a standard driver for them named as 3c509 in the kernel. (might even be as a module, in which case try `modprobe 3c509`) Good Luck! -- David Zanetti, Unix System Administrator, Information Technology Group Wellington City Council, New Zealand.

RE: Which Kernel for 3c905B Network Cards?
Sorry, I've not yet had sufficient caffiene for the day yet :) You were after 3c905 not 3c509, as I've ranted about below. The 3c905's are supported in .36, unless you've got good reason not to upgrade, I'd suggest you do so. I've had no problems with the one 3c905 (aka Vortex) card I've played with. *grin* -- David Zanetti, Unix System Administrator, Information Technology Group Wellington City Council, New Zealand.
