Hi
i want to share my harddisk on my second computer that has Winxp installed and on my first computer i have Mandrake 9.2. the two pc's are connected together with a twisted tp-cable.

i have used the local networkbrowser and can see my pc with Winxp but i cant mount it, i get permission denied, why?

This is where i want to mount the computer: /mnt/windows/DELLAN/C/

dellan is pc's hostname and i want to share the whole harddrive C:\

you'll have to create a valid user for the network, and share. whatever your username is on the linux machine, create a user for xp, w/the same username and password. then edit the share permissions accordingly.
good luck.
