[Samba] Mapping Linux Shares To Windows

[Ow Mun Heng]

Hi,

	Depending on whether it's Windows 95/98 or Windows 2000/nt/xp there
are different methods

NT/2000/Xp variants:

net use w: \\server-name\%username% /yes

where %username% will map it to the specific username share(home directory) 
/yes = make it persistent even after reboot


95/98

This u will have to look for the option in "My Computer" that says "Map
Network Drive" or something like that. If not, just go to
START->RUN->\\server-name.

Hopefully, your server shares will pop up and then you can just select the
share you want, right click and then 'map drive'

Subject: [Samba] Mapping Linux Shares To Windows


Hello,

I have managed to install Samba V. 2.5 on a Red Hat Linux 8.0 box and my
Windows clients can see the shares and read/write
appropriately.

How do i map these shares so that they appear as e.g. Drive F: or Drive Z:
under Windows Explorer. In a Win2K network , i understand
that we have to write logon scripts and use the net command. But this
network ( which consists of 1 linux box and 3 Win9x boxes ) is
in a peer-to-peer workgroup setup.

Please help and thanx in advance.

Bye,
Marco.
