Greetz,

Sorry for taking a while, I've been really busy at school and work lately. Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who replied and offered me advice, no doubt I will likely have to PM some of you when I go to *hopefully* set it up this weekend. (Told you I was busy :p)
I really appreciate the help and input, and long live AO!

Hey I just did this last night on my home computer with a window98 computer. I run Mandrake 9.0 and wanted to grab
the files off of the windows box since it's sort of like my file server. I installed samba fromt he mandrake 9.0 cd it worked fine
then on the linux I went to cd /usr/sbin and then threw this command

Code:

---

mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test

---

I went to the /data/test directory and sure enought my windows files where there and on windows I just typed the computer name in internet explorer it prompted me for my username and password. It then displayed a folder of my linux home drive.
I was surprised everything worked the first time but that's all I did. Hope it helps you out :)
