It is a router. I have used it for file sharing, printer sharing etc. I even used it to SSH logins to my friend's GNU + Linux system using virtual server (or port forwarding) setup in his BSNL router. This was very handy as I had to just sit in my home, login to his PC and then fix things he had broken. Going through this thread, I am not quite sure of your need. If your need is file sharing, you can set up Samba. If you just need to access your Windows file from your GNU + Linux system, you don't need Samba. Just share your Windows drives, Go to Places->Network->Windows Network and your Windows machine will be shown there. -- http://swargam-blog.blogspot.com -- "Freedom is the only law".
