It's 'smbclient -L netbiosname', so for you it's: smbclient -L Linux > Note that because I want to share a certain partition with a windows XP > machine /share is mounted at a FAT32 partition. No idea if that has samba can share out any partition. You don't have to make it a FAT partition. All my shares are ext3.
