---1463811584-139055371-1022685033=:18266 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Assume that your router is your IP address server (DHCP server) and that your Linux box is your file server. You *almost* sound skeptical about having more than one "server" on your network, but that's not a problem. Technically, any Linux box running Samba or any Windows box running File & Print Sharing is technically a "server". Any other box that maps a drive or a printer on another box is acting as a "client" by doing so. I've attached an smb.conf.simple that's a good basic start. You'll need to tweak a few names and perhaps and IP address, and rename it to "smb.conf" in the right directory for your installation. Other than that, it serves the "homes" share that Windows boxes look for on an NT home directory server, and it serves a public file share that is publicly visible and writeable by a certain group of users. Try it out first. You'll have to set the Workgroup line in this file and in the Network Identification of your Windows boxes. Then restart samba with the init script provided. You should be able to browse Network Neighborhood and see your server, containing a share called "pub" and a share called (your login name) and any attached printers. I s'pose this does require that your login on the windows box be the same as your login on the Unix box... From here, you can map network drives or whatever. I hope it helps. -- -j John Beamon On Wed, 29 May 2002, Bart G. Denys wrote: > Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 07:17:57 -0500 > From: Bart G.
