Eric, 1. OS = Windows XP Pro 2. Network = Perr to Peer work groups 3. "echo | smbclient" = found during research; my dreaming abilities are limited. 4. Linux experience = limited. I have a masters degree in computer information systems. This is my first Linux box. I was able to get file sharing working. I have a bare minimum apache system up and running. I host my own web and ftp site on windows. I am moving the web part to the linux box. I am able to have remote users log on the Linux box when necessary. My internal network has three direct connect boxes though a linksys switch and one wireless laptop. All are window boxes except the one linux box. I can use emacs and vi as editors; and others. However, beyond the meager basic I am very green. I live in Glendale close to 67th Ave. and Cactus Samba Version = SMB/CIFS File Server 2.2.8a Printing system = Was trying CUPS So far = Tried a lot of things, mostly mucking around.
