samba share to lettered drive
 

mapping a samba share to a letter drive in windows.....this is possible right? If i have on my Linux box /home/robert, isnt it possible to get /home/robert to map to like Z:/ on a windows box?

ok this was terribly easy:


Once you have logged on to Windows you should proceed as follows:

Right click on the "Network Neighbourhood" or "My Network places" icon
From the pop-up menu choose "Map Network Drive"
In the dialog box choose a drive letter (for example G:)
Then type in the Network path or Folder. This will be something like:
\\castor\mmm45 -- the home directory of a user called "mmm45"
or
\\softhost\sitesoft -- the location where some site licensed software can be obtained
or
\\click\ourfolder -- a shared folder on a server called "click"
If you are using Windows2000 and have not logged onto Windows with your Unix password, click the "different user name" link, and in the next dialog-box type in your Unix username and password, and then click "OK"
Click "Finish" or "OK"


My dad now has a Z: drive on his windows machine, an extra 1gig +

The Opposite
 

I am trying to do the exact opposite of this. I need to map a linux home directory to a share on a Windows 2000 server.

Please help!
