well, the drive is shared (m$' way...) and my other win2k box can see it.
can linux use micro$oft's sharing?

i don't need to access it from outside the firewall, just inside.  the plan
is to use the firewall like a glorified stereo, in addition to it's packet
filtering.  since the firewall is old and only supports up to an 8gb drive,
i put the 40gb in my main machine and share it between the boxes on my LAN.
since all of the mp3's are on the big drive, i'm wondering if linux can
access the micro$oft sharing scheme.
