I just installed Linux Mandrake 8.1 on a IBM Laptop with ethernet card.

On my network I am running a Linksys Etherfast DSL Router which is DHCP configured.

My linux laptop gets an IP ok but how do I connect it to the rest of the machines on this networked workgroup.

My main system is called Home1 on Workgroup.

How can I configure my Linux laptop to see the shares and printers on my Win2K box?

Any help?

Thanks!

Check out Samba (smb). http://www.samba.org

the package should be on your mandrake distro CD.

In mdk 8.2 there is a tool in the mandrake control panel for that. dunno about 8.1 though.

I might go back to mandrake, I am having some problems doing this in rh 7.3. I am mounting it with the command:
mount -t smbfs -o user=rik,password=***,rw,gid=500,uid=500 //server/share /mnt/share
The problem is that only root is allowed to write to this,and I need this share, but don't want to be logged in as root all the time, or have to su every time I want to save my work.
