No, I haven't as yet. With Francisco's and Stephen's recommendation as one or both of those choices, I will try one out. I just thought that there would have been a 'native' application or applet within every Linux distro that goes along with the loading of the Samba client to do this. I can see where you can load a client at the console level, but no GUI to do this (I am not even sure that the MCC Mount Drives section is working right, either.)
Sorry to have confused you. My Win machines hooked up so easily, it was a dream. I just can't get the Linux boxes to see the insides of the folders. I'll try one of these GUI client/managers and see what happens. Thanks.

My Linux box is for the moment the only one, so server and client. The others are 2 win98s, 1 w2k and 1 win_me (though that's a laptop that plugs in so rarely I can't vouch for that working properly). I've just installed LinNeighbourthood, which most people seem to be recommending. On the 8.2 setup I used Komba2. I've got both loaded, now, so I'll try them out when the kids are doing homework! That's the best time to be sure that they are switched on. I thought you said that you could not see the files within the folders, which I took to mean the windows pcs. If you're talking another linux box it shouldn't need samba, should it? I thought samba was just the 'language interpreter' for want of a better phrase, between linux and windows. Obviously I can't try this at the moment, but I would have thought that LinNeighbourhood or Komba2 would be able to see and mount the shares, samba or not. Have you tried either?
