some help and some questions:
I have on a home network connected 2 XPs + 1 Knoppix machine.
The knoppix machine is there to store file as a backup (initialy)
How to access Windows from Knoppix:
1 - connect all machines on the Lan
2 - start all machines
3 - Go to the XP directories you want to have access from Linux
4 - click right/property/share --->share the diretory to network users
5 - Start samba server on koppix (menu Knoppix/Services/Startsamba server)
6 - Open LinNeighborhood (Menu Internet/)
7 - You should get something like that:
Linux
------XP1
------XP2
8 - click right (scan as user) to see the different directories of the XP machines (enter XP psswd)
9 - Click mount on the directory you want to be able to read/write from Linux
10 - Go to Konqueror /mnt and you will have access to your XP directory
That's it - I hope this procedure will help someone, it took me some times to figure it out.
Now part II
How do I access Linux from my XP machine?
At this point I can see the Knoppix server from Windows but I can log on.
Any help?
Thanks,
