access windows partition from linux on my lan

ALInux · 08-14-2004, 10:39 AM

HI guys Ive got a LAN consisting of 7 computers, 6 of them run on win xp and they all "see" each other perfectly, while the 7th computer runs on Linux Red Hat 9.0, the linux has got access to the internet through the LAN ( just to say that the network card is configured and the linux computer is on the lan). I want to access my shared windows partitions through my Linux computer, if anyone can help me out I would be grateful

you'll be needing the samba, you can find documentaion, and all the info you'll need here

it may already be installed on your system, depends on what kind of install you chose. if not you can download it, or get it off the install cds. a forum search should provide you w/some working configurations to help get you going.
good luck.

use this to access ur drive 'c' of windows, first make the directory "/win" in "/mnt".

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win

or

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win

be sure that u have installed windows using FAT32 partition

This will apply only if you're installing Windows locally in a different partition.

What if it's across the Network?

over the network use

smbmount or mount -t smbfs

that would be mount -t cifs for server devices.
