I have 4 XPs and one Linux FC2 connected. Now I can see the windows machines from the Linux one - but not the other way. I know there Is this Samba thing, and I even got into a configuration manager - but all I could do there is change an integer variable which I had no idea what does it do. So I didn't. I couldn't locate any how-to or "man smb" or "man samba" to understand what is this Samba and how can I change the sharing attribute of certain directories in my Linux machine. Any idea how can I see the Linuc machine from the XPs? Thanks Yigal
