I have already read this post (http://knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8725), and can access the shared folders on my windows xp machine.

1) Is there a noob explaination on how this can automatically be run? I have been just running it from root everytime I power on the system.

2) I can grab files from the xp machine to my Linux box, but not visa vera. What type of configuration on my XP box am I missing?
