Well, what do you have set for networking between the two? I assume you are direct-connecting? If so, what do you have set for IP addresses on both machines? Can you ping? Once you get a pingable connection between the two, perform the following instruction on your Linux box, and use the IP address of your Windows box instead of the sample IP in this command: smbclient -L 192.168.1.102 This will prompt you for a password (I just hit ENTER), then list all seen 'shares' on that Windows PC. Let us know where you are at, and where you are stuck at. Mark ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> 1.2 million kids a year are victims of human trafficking.
