WinXP shares some folders by default, I believe anything in the "shared documents" directory should be accessable as a SMB share with no additional configuration. To share from your linux machines you'll have to setup Samba or NFS, although Samba is more than capable of serving files for Linux machines. I've got it setup on my server at home using the CIFS filesystem because I transfer large files (DVD Rips) to and from the server on a regular basis. The Samba howto is very good. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ -- - Josh www.omg-stfu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
