Lee Start off by teading the HOWTo's on Mandrake User Online http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/ Also check out the archive of this email list http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/ Samba will get your Windows machines networked to the Linux machine. The Windows machines will be able to browse the Linux files with Network Neighbourhood. LISa will give you the ability to browse your windows machines from Konquerer just like Windows Network Neighbourhood. (Some old mails tell how about configuring LISa) IP Maquerading will allow the Linux box to be a gateway for the Windows machines. Tip: When configuring Samba to get networking between your Linux box and your Windows boxes. Don't forget to enable password encrption in Samba. That one catches everyone out.
