yes

Samba is the magic word. There is a server Samba Server which will share directories, printers and more using the windows protocols. It is even capable of acting as a primary domain controller for a windows network.

There is also a client which will run on a Linux box and mount a shared windows folder on a network. It is quite quick and easy.

K Menu -> Internet -> More Applications -> LinNeighborhood

To browse your local network.

Or if you wish to start the services running locally;

K Menu -> KNOPPIX -> Services -> Start Samba Server

# mount -t smbfs -o username=aspra,password=*** //ntserver/folder /mnt/ntserver
