Welcome to LQ.

In order for your Linux machine to read the shared 'folder' on your Windows machine, you will need to install SAMBA. If you want a nice graphical way to access your shared stuff, I can recommend LinNeighborhood (I think it is spelled the American way, not sure).

Redhat 9 Samba

Hi Sanfoor,
from the GUI go to - "Start Button",--> "System Settings",-->"Add/Remove Applications". Under the Servers Section, "Windows File Server" box should be checked. This will install the Samba software.
Once this is completed, go to - "Start Button",--> "Control Center",--> inside the Control Center, open "Internet & Network",-->"Local Network Browsing". Now, fill in the blanks for "default user name", "default password", and "workgroup". The user must be recognized by the Win2K machine of course. This should allow you to type into the browser the url to your Win2K share example--> smb://win2k-box/shared-iso.
I hope this helps a little!! Or at least gets you in the right direction.
w4rth0g

Once you share the folder out on the windows box and you have the samba client installed on the linux system...you can run this from the command line to mount it:

mount -t smbfs -o username="your windows username",password="your windows password" //"ip address of the windows system"/"shared folder name" /mnt/"local mount point"

to change your local host name, edit /etc/sysconfig/network

there is a hostname=

change this to whatever you like.

you would also need to put an entry in your /etc/hosts file to reflect this

--hope this helps

Sorry Sanfoor, I assumed you wanted to mount a Win2k share from your Redhat 9 box. My post showed the steps on the Redhat machine. Edit the smb.conf file in /etc/samba to set-up a share on the RHL box. The smb.conf file is pretty well commented, and should help to make short work of setting up a share.
