My installation media of Oracle Applications is DVD. I want to share the DVD of my laptop with Dell Power Edge 2850 with Red Hat Linux Release 4.
 
 I installed the same version of RH Linux in one partition of my laptop disk and Windows XP Professional Edition in other partition.
 
 In Linux, I can only from my server to my laptop by ssh but when I run installation process, I do not know how to call the remote folder, (the correct path, eg: /mount/cdrecorder).
 
 Could you indicate me the steps to accomplish this with Samba? I setup the server Samba in my laptop but smbclient from server sends the following message:
 
 [root at dell2850 ~]# smbclient -L faguirre.localdomain -N
 Error connecting to 10.0.131.192 (No route to host)
 Connection to faguirre.localdomain failed
 [root at dell2850 ~]#
 
 Any help, hint or reference, it will be appreciate it???
 
 Thanks,
 
 Francisco Aguirre
