Basic Connecting FC5 to Win2K Server

[starkweatherr]

I've only had FC5 running for a day, and this is my first Linux experience. I would like to be able to connect to my server, which runs Win2K Server, but don't really know where to start. What kind of problems am I looking at?

Shouldn't be any kind of problem, samba is what you are going to use.

If you want to access shares on your Windows machine, you don't need anything but a standard load of FC5

mount.cifs //server/share /mntpoint -o username=Windows_user_account.


If you want to actually share directories on your Linux box to be available to Windows, you need to install samba and configure the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Look at chapter 18 in this guide,
