Paul, To integrate Linux networking with Windows, you need the Samba suite of applications for Linux. These generally include 3 packages (rpm's) called samba-common, samba-server, and samba-client. Mandrake 8.1 includes all of these, at version 2.2.2 if I remember correctly. You only need samba-common and samba-client to access shares on other computers. If you want to create shares that others can access from Windows (or Linux), then you also need samba-server. Once Samba is installed, there is ample documentation included to help you get started.
