Question Sharing w/windows


Ok, here is the deal, I have my home network and I installed Mandrake (easy install!) I have Samba runing and SWAT too and on my windows machine I can see and browse the shares on my Mandrake box but my problem is that I want to be able to "see" the shares on my windows machines from the Mandrake box.
One more thing, I can print to my local printer on mandrake and I want to share the printer with my windows 9x & 2000 machines, How do I do it? I did modified my smb.conf file but still doesn't work.
Help is needed!
Another newbie in trouble.
thanks guys and keep up the good work.

You mean you have two partitions on your system and you want view the files on windows partition or do you have a LAN and you want to share the files among 3 computers? And the same question goes for the printer

Sharing w/windows

I have a small network at home with a Win9x, Win2K & RH 7.0 clients, the files I want to share are not on the same computer(HD/partitions) but in the different windows computers, the printers is now attached to a windows box but I want to attach it to the Mandrake box and be able to share it with the windows machines.
