the network drive is Unix and I want to have access to my network drive (mapping my network drive), namely,
\\severname\myhomedirectory from my computer, not from the office's computer the system is controlled my tsg (technical support group) I connect to that folder from my office's computer which runs redhat 7.3. The problem is that I do not have admistrative rights in that computer (i.e., I do not have root access), so I do not know how they did it (and I can tell you they are not going to tell me ). My own computer, this is, not the office's one, it is a novatech P4 laptop which runs mainly debian (woody) although I left a litte partition for windows xp (3 Gb). Using windows, I can connect to my office's network drive using tools>map network drive> where I type the name of my server and my user name. Given that I am quite new at debian (one month using it) I am not pretty sure if I should use nfs through dhcp or I should use samba instead. I have been looking for documentation about the matter, but all I got was how to create LANs, etc. I did not find anything related with my problem If you can give some advices and/or recomend me some documentation to read (I like to read :)) I would be grateful Thanks lot Rhodri > I need a lot more information than this to help out.
