samba: reading files from my Windows 2000 machine from my RedHat Linux machine.

[Mark Rew]

Hi :Lists,

Can someone refer me to a straight forward step-by-step guide to setting up my
Windows 2000 and RedHat Linux 7.3 Machines to allow me share files from the
Windows to the Linux?

I have read several interesting documents that gave me the history of SMB and
described UDP, TCP and port numbers 137:139 etc.  This has been some of the
most interesting reading since I took Distributed Systems in the Fall of 2000.
But!  Since, I'm in a work environment where I need to get something working
quickly, I need a more direct document that gives a how-to, if I know IP
addresses, group domains, and how to share Windows.

Any pointers to a simple guide will be grately appreciated.

thanks
