Make sure to get the most up-to-date version of SAMBA and the SAMBA clients.
I was doing this and getting wicked file locking problems until I updated to something in the 2.2 (I think) series. But once you get samba, make a folder somewhere /mnt/NT/ mount -t smb -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD //SERVER/SHARE /mnt/NT then you can use the standard lredir (umm.. for readability, LREDIR all lower case) once you're in DOS lredir linux/fs/mnt/NT d: You're going to have to fiddle with the 'mount -t smb' command. It seems like every time I go to do it, they've changed the syntax. Here are the places where I've found help using that in the past: man mount /sbin/mount.smbfs --help Also, if you're Linux box can't resolve the server's hostname, you need to get that working. For example, if ping SERVER doesn't work, you better put the server's name/ip in the /etc/hosts file or fix your name resolution. This problem will cause you no end of grief if you have it. /sbin/mount.smbfs mentions an option "credentials" that can store the username and password in a file. This is nice if you want to mount the share automatically. I haven't used it, but you could create the file (for example) /etc/.NTcredentials, do chmod a-rw /etc/.NTcredentials so no one can read it, then use this instead of specifying username=USER,password=PASSWORD which can be read via the process list. I hope this helps, if not email me and I'll try to help more.
