Hi,

Debian has been a snap at getting on to a network and having it use
Windows shared folders. All you have to do is be connect and look at the
"My Computer" folder on the Desktop.

What does it take to do the reverse? Windows notes the Linux
computer's network is there. It is not able to get access do to
permission concerns, it says. What does one do to make Linus folders
"shared" on a network?

Sincerely,

Gregory D. MELLOTT


Samber server versus Samba client. The Samba client is what you are using
to access the Windows shares. You have to have the Samba server daemon
running on your Linux PC and have it configured appropriately to work the
other way around.

You need to install samba (apt-get install samba). Then edit /etc/smb.conf
according to the configurations you want.
