Access to Windows shared resources.
Guys,
I'm running Linux Debian, I'm in a network with a windows machine that shares a lot of stuff (that stuff is easily accessible through other windwos machines on the network), but my Linux just doesn't see anything shared on the net. Does anyone know how to get access to those windows shared folders?
Tahnk you much.

Depends on what you are using and what u are wanting to do with the share. But for all of them you will need samba and possibly smbfs
If you have a WM installed then you can usually just search the network and find what you are looking for as you would on the linux box. If the shares are password protected then it will ask your for your details.
If you are running in a terminal you can use either the mount command with smbfs to create a 'virtual folder'
or you can use a text-based browser like linksCode:smbmount //windowsservername/temp$ /mnt/share
either way if you dnt have samba, you will need to get it!Code:links smb://username:password@windowsbox
