Mike 1. install samba server and client, and smb4k packages if they are not installed. 2. goto Mandrake Control Center and in section servers configure your samba server by the wizard. don't worry, it's easy 3. start smb4k for browsing windows machines 4. on win machines try to browse the local network. you should see your linux share as Samba Server ... 5. enjoy :) Ati I installed drakwizard and now have the samba server wizard. I configured samba to share my printer and a public folder. However, from XP I can't see the printer or the public folder. I tried adding a printer from XP by letting it look for one. It only found the windows work group containing the local machine. I identified the windows work group to samba. What now.? Mike create samba users (as root) with smbpasswd giving them the same names and passwords as the windows users on the windows boxes Got it working! Thanks.
