home network


Can anyone tell me if it is possible to mount a HD from accross a network??

In other words, i have a home network setup. I have my desktop which has Linux , my laptop on a wireless, and my roommates crappy mac's and window boxes . i want to be able to view the shared files and so forth that we have allowed on all of the machines. How can i do this?

Look into samba, more specifically, how to use 'smbclient' and 'smbmount'. I have a similar setup at my school, and it works out well for me.

You might also look into Webmin as an adjunct to samba.
