hi Daryl
yes , samba is running on both machines and the mail machine can be accessed using the
network from all the windowz machines...
i cannot access it from my Linux workstation.
tried to mount -smbfs and -nfs and nothing....
for smb it asked for a password. i tried all the passwords i knew - nothing.
for nfs it says it cannot find the volume... :(
