no, I need to do it over a network. i.e on a remote computer.

sorry for my misunderstanding(been a long day).
first, is the machine sharing any partions? second, have you configured samba? third, what kind of network are you on (specs, lan, wan, etc.), and what distro are you using? forth, is this a lan or wan? i'll ned more info to help.

3. 100 switched, LAN
4. Mandrake

o.k. for samba see.

http://www.samba.org/

for mandrake, which version...i.e. 8.1, 9.0, 9.1,9.2,..etc.

the reason i ask this is that 9.1 (and newer, i'm guessing comes w/ linneighborhood(which is very similar to network neighborhood under windows) and should be easy to configure.)

hope that gives you some direction. since you're running mandrake, also look here.

(hint, localhost 901)

good luck.
