I have SAMBA working so that I can browse my linux files from my XP comp. but what I am having trouble figuring out is how to go the opposite way. (Linux to XP) So, with that being said I have a simple stupid question. (i'm one of the many linux newbs) I have done google searches and browsed other linux forums but wasn't able to come up with a simple answer. I was wondering if their is a Network Neighborhood equivalent for Linux? I am using Fedora Core 2 with KDE desktop environment. Do I have to mount my XP hdd first, is there a simple way of browsing to it? I tried using a mnt command from a source somewhere on the web, i don't recall what is was or where i found it, but it didn't help/work. Your thoughts/comments would be appreciated.

If the resource (for example let's pick C:\SOMEDIR\) is shared from XP, to mount this on Linux you could attempt the following:
Code:
~# mount -t smbfs //NameOfXPMachine/SOMEDIR/ /mnt/xp/somedir

The above assumes that /mnt/xp/somedir is a valid mount point (i.e. directory that exists)

Possibly, the resources are password protected. To supply a user with the mount command add this:
Code:
~# mount -t smbfs //NameOfXPMachine/SOMEDIR/ /mnt/xp/somedir -o "username=user_to_connect"


Hope this helps.

A lot of distrbutions also come with Lin Neighberhood, which allows your to browse the windows workstations in your network and connect to them.

Newer versions of KDE have a "smb://" kio slave which allow you to browse smb shares on specific computers, of if you have LISA set up right, you can look at all computers on your workgroup.
