smb mounts to 2000xp box.

[Rich Caloggero]

I was able to mount a samba share from my linux host on my win-2000 box. In
other words, while sitting at the win-2000 box, I could open a run window
and type \\barajas<enter> and up comes the list of shares on my samba linux
box whose netBIOS name is barajas. I needed to put the netBIOS name barajas
in a lmhosts file along with IP address so that winblows would find it; I
never got "browsing" to work.

I have not tried the analogous case, where one mounts a winblows file system
on a linux host. Is this what you want to do?

Sorry I somehow missed some of this topic, if it has come up.  We're
running a Telephone Reader box in our office here which runs under 2000xp
(gee I wish they would port it properly to something useful grin).   I
wanna be able to get things from my box along with our fileserver over to
the win box, but have been clueless thus far as to how you get the thing
mounted under 2000 xp so it sees the linux boxes.  Our systems person
hasn't found a clue either.  We're figuring it's somehow different than
mounting under 98 but are very lost.
I want to naturally bring other files from outside sources over to the win
box for other programs to hear from other sources.
