Regarding Mapping to Network Drive
 

I have got a windows m/c and a Linux box, both connected by LAN.
I want to connect to Linux from windows using the "Map To Network Drive" service.
But, I am getting an error "No route to host"!
I am able to ping, telnet, ftp to that machine.
So, what else I have to do to get connected by "Map to network drive" service?

Hi
Have you started the samba server ?
You can use this to connect to a remote share on a windoze machine
something like

smbmount //windows_machine//share_name /mnt/mount_point -c Name_of_windows_Machine

Make shure you share the folder on the win machine

Cheers

I am trying to map to Linux from Windows.
So, why should I have a shared folder in windows?

You need Samba server on your linux box - it may come with your distro. Look at the docs or search on Networking forum for Samba - there are a lot of posts on how to set it up.
