Hey,
I've recently plunged myself into Linux now that I am able to get online under this OS (in fact, this is my first post under it! )
However, all my music is in my windows partition (NTFS). I can access it from Linux with no probs, but I would also like to share it over the network so that it can be accessed from other (windows) computers on my net.
The normal procedure under the KDE of my Mandrake Linux 9.2 (right click folder, share) doesn't work, since apparently I can only share folders from the /home directory. Does anyone here know how to circumvent this?
Well, as a matter of fact, I haven't been able to share anything from the linux box to the windows network, but I think I can work it out on my own. I'd welcome a little help though: Does anyone know what to change in order to be part of the same "domain" (e.g. MSHOME) and where to set the "computer name" as in "\\COMPUTER_NAME\music"?
Thank you!

The graphic tools for this kind of stuff is where distributions of linux differ..

Does Mandrake come with SWAT (samba admin tool which uses web browser)?
If so, then workgroup and computer name are specified under "globals"

If not, the configuration file is probably in /etc/samba/smb.conf in a section that looks like:



Then one of my shares looks like:


There should be a man page for this file; type:
