Now that you can access your linux folders on your windows box, we'll talk about accessing windows shares on your linux box. (That's fun too.)
Well my brother just put in another movie, so I'll address samba the other way around.
Here's something I forgot to add:
Windows/Samba filesharing is supposed to broadcast their names to one another so that you can access \\mycomputername\sharename. This is really cool when it works, but if it doesn't, it's a pain. It's easier to use ip addresses, or setup your names using a hosts file. In linux this hosts file is in /etc/hosts, I don't know where it is in Windows.)
ok so you're able to access your samba shares with your windows box. Nice. Ok so time for Windows. I'm assuming that you have everything setup with shares, permissions and users in Windows.
issue these commands as root:
#mkdir /mnt/sambshare #mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.2/share /mnt/sambashare -ousername=Art,uid=art
ok the username should be your windows username, and the uid should be your linux username, 192.168.0.2 is your window's ip address, share is the share name. (Watch your slashes, they are different in linux than windows.)
type in your password, and then you should be set. Access your windows share in /mnt/sambashare.
Have fun and let us know what we can do.
