I set up Samba so Windows can Access Linux, but how can I access my windows machine from linux (preferably using samba).?
Check out smbclient or smbmount on your linux box.
The way I access my windows shares from the linux box is as follows:
mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //server/sharename /mount/mountpoint
But I've no idea how to access my l inux box from Windows, how do you do it?
It should appear in the network neighborhood.
How can I mount it on boot up? Can I Edit the fstab to achieve this?
put this:
mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //server/sharename /mount/mountpoint
in etc/mtab
hope u r using redhat 9
from gui run command as nautilus smb:
this will give u a gui with all the groups. click on it
