T H A N K S Sam! That worked perfectly after I finally filled in the entries correctly and supplied the correct password. It appears that I can access the files this way, but can't send files to the file server. Right? If I want to move a file to the file server, what do I do?mount -t smb //myntserver/someshare /mnt/ntshare
Also, how do I execute that command line automatically during boot? Also, it would be handy if I could do a refresh by repeating the command by simply clicking on a KDE desktop Icon before looking in the folder.
What I've been trying to do is use Konqueror to communicate with PCVol on NT1. This seems to be the way KDE wants me to do it, however, thus far, every attempt has been a failure--usually the host cannot be found. I'm hoping there is someone on here that is a good KDE user that can help me along.

What you want to do involves samba. Samba is a package that allows
intercommunication between Windows file shares and unix systems.
In a perfect world all you should need to do to access a windows machine
is something like this (as root):
mount -t smb //myntserver/someshare /mnt/ntshare
Where,
myntserver = the name of your NT server within the domain or
workgroup
someshare = the name of a share that is availible from that server
/mnt/ntshare = is some arbitrary (and empty) directory that you've
made on your linux system. This directory is where
you access the files from the server.
Sharing files from Linux -> NT is a little more involved. Mostly all it
takes is setting some values in the /etc/smb.conf file, and starting the
Samba service.
Some documentation to help:

Red Hat 8.0 has a new version of samba packaged with it so you shouldn't
need to build anything, but you will most likely need to tweak on the
configuration files.
You might want to check the linux machine's firewall configuration since
that is a common thing to have get in the way:
