Asunto: [newbie] How to see my Linux PC in a lan.
I have installed a mandrake 7.0 with a net card and i know that it works
well because I can ping the rest of the computers (all of them are built in
win NT and win 9X.). But I don�t know how to see them and their shared
folders. I try to open the netscape but it shows me a message that I don�t
understand well. By the other hand when I try to see the linux computer in a
windows one only sometimes I find it making a "find PC" but when I go to
open it I�m asked for a name and password but I�m never recogniced nor root
nor nobody.
I know that all those tthings are made by samba but I can�t find samba in my
Linux... I dont�t know if I have to install it ( in that case plase tell me
how to do) or where find it. I only know that if I type samba in a terminal
I can start the services.... but I don�t know any more.
Please help me to set up my Linux in a lan to share folders and to see my
domain.
Thanks a lot.
Luis.
