Any ideas?
I've never used W2K and don't know what an Active Directory, but I reckon your best bet is to set up a Samba server on your Linux box, which makes it visible to Windows computers (can also be used as a printer server for networked Windows boxes). Configuring Samba is a bit of a pain, but there's a tool to let you do it via your browser which is much easier (smbconfing? sambaconf? I forget). Once you've got Samba up and running, you can set up Windows shares as mount points, and also have Linux directories show up as shares on Windows computers (in Win98 you make, say, E: drve point to /home/fred - I imagine there's some equivalent in W2K).
Their reply was:
Subject:
Yeah, I installed Samba and set-up a share. But I am having difficulty
seeing the system from my windows domain. How do I set the domain
membership for linux? And how (or where) do I find tools for determining
the actual IP address of the system (it should be receiving one via
DHCP)?
