As I'm reading your query it appears you need to use your Sun system as a CIFS client (CIFS is the protocol that is used to share windows files). The folks on the CIFS discuss alias can help with your queries. To get yous started take a look at the cifs client docs at: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/smbfs/smbfs-docs/ and if you are running OpenSolaris you can try the command # /usr/sbin/mount -F smbfs //10.0.1.30/c/photo /test And if you are running on Solaris 10 or earlier you'll have to use SAMBA as you file sharing program. Check out the SAMBA docs at: http://us1.samba.org/samba/ Hope some of this helps .... --jc --- Jeff Cheeney | OpenSolaris Storage Community | http://opensolaris.org/os/storage | http://blogs.sun.com/icedawn
