- How do I make my stand alone Mandrake 8.1 installation on my laptop browse and successfully mount network based volumes on an exsisting TCP/IP LAN. I want to be able to access shared volumes on a server using my exsisting network authentication permissions so that I can get to information which in stored on a LAN server. I can get DHCP to give me an IP address correctly on the LAN, but I want to be able to browse the network as if I was the on my Windows 2000 system logged into the network. I am the only Linux user on my LAN. How do I set up Samba or anything else for that matter in order for this to work??? Thanks for the help.

- configure your /etc/samba/smb.conf either by hand, or with webmin

- on /etc/samba/smb.conf put your workgroup
put yout wins server
you can find it with nmblookup -M YOUR_WORKGROUP
and use gnomba or LinNeighborhood (find it in mandrake cooker)
to browse your network put your login and password in their config

- i did that, i am not sure what to enable and what not to enable. i set the items i thought would be right, but i then went to gnomba network browser. I see the machines, but when i try to log in to them to see the shares it gives me an error of "error returning --- list:ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access Denied) i think that I am missing something but I am not quite sure. Thanks for the help.

- A quick search at http://rpmfind.net will bring up links to downloadable
version of linneighborhood.

- OK try instaling LinNEigborhood , is front end to smbclient and smbmount
I think it solve your problem , use to detect windows machines and mount onto
your linux machine in a directory of your home .

- In the past I have done the following to my
linux box, in order to share with Windows
Machines.
1. find out the ip addresses of my windows
machines and edit the /etc/hosts file,
adding the names and ip addresses of my
windows machines.
e.g. if I have a windows machine called Bill
(192.168.2.1) and another called Scott
(192.168.2.2) I would add the following
lines to my /etc/hosts file
<tt>
#/etc/hosts - with windows hosts
192.168.1.1 bill
192.168.1.2 scott
</tt>
2. I make sure that Samba is installed
<em>
urpmi samba
</em>
3. to test if mounting is fine I usually
type this at the command line as root:
<em>
mkdir /mnt/bill
mount -t smbfs -o
username=name //bill/sharename /mnt/bill
</em>
<tt>note: "username" is set to a valid
windows account name, "sharename" is the sharename on the windows machine
</tt>
if that works, you should be able to list
your new mount as /mnt/bill <em>
ls /mnt/bill
</em>
============================
A Gui alternative to step 3. is to use
konqueror. In the location bar type:
<em>
smb://bill or
smb://scott </em>
That's it.
=========
if you found this answer satisfactory
goto<b> STEP 3 </b>
then choose <b>close this message </b>
please rate me. Thanks!!

- Great folks!!! it finally works as root but why can't i map shared volumes as a regular user or set them up under root and then access them with a regular users account. It says that it was denied when i try to add a mapped volume when i am not logging in a root. It must be in the permissions, but where to be safe.
Thanks again for everyones help, i will rate you all accordingly.

- or is there a way i can pass my nt user info through Konqueror so that my nt permissions will apply. you know without linNeighborhood so that it kinda looks like network neighborhood and I can have the same nt functions allowed in linux.
thanks,
jeff

- Hi,
this is a base configuration (/etc/samba/smb.conf or /etc/smb.conf) for
client computer that's working on a lan with win nt 9x 2k stations and an NT
domain controller.
you have to replace DOMAINE by the name of your NT domain, HOSTNAME by your
hostname, the ip class of your network and SERVER by the netbios name of the
domain controller.
next you can use Komba2 under KDE2 to browse your lan.

- the newer versions of kde have an option to set the user and pwd in the kde
control center under Network.
I would not advise using kde as it is v. slow
if i were you i would use these steps.
login as a user(that exists on the nt server)
create under /home/yourusername directories for the shares you want to access
goto a console and run smbmount //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sharename
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx being the ip of the server.
This is the fastest and easiest way to access the shares

- I wonder if we are all talking at cross purposes?
You just want access to files stored on your NT LAN correct?
You don't need SAMBA for this - a quick and crude way to do it is to mount
the shared directory on your NT server as a directory on Linux.
The command is, IIRC, smbmount, called through mount.
Just type smbmount and follow the example.
