Re: [newbie] need to set up simple network
Jim, you'll be needing Samba. Check out their web site at http://www.samba.org. You can install it via an RPM, or tar file. Using an RPM *should* set everything up for you. I *think* it will also put the two daemons in your inetd.conf but am not sure. You can then use "smbclient" to connect to all the PC's. I just bought and EXCELLENT book yesterday called "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" bys Sam's. I've already read the whole thing and am starting through it again.

Re: [newbie] need to set up simple network
How much was the book? Jerrud
Re: [newbie] need to set up simple network
rpm -q samba, to see if it's installed
rpm -ihv /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/samba-*, if it's not (or get it via ftp)
docs get located in /usr/doc/samba-%{version}
the main config file is /etc/smb.conf
and the website is located at http://www.samba.org
