| install Samba on your linux Machines, then read up on how to connect. you wish your unix Machine to act as a client or a server? | |

| i wish my machine to act as client only,SAMBA is already installed. I downloaded LinNeighborhood but their is no installation guide for it. | |

| use Something like:
# mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/samba -u rberana
You have to do this as root, and you should be prompted to enter Password. To remount at bootup time, add an entry to your fstab file. Am not familiar with LinNeighborhood, but have found and faq Here. | |

| mount command works fine but that means for every share a computer has that means i have to mount it, am i right? and onr thing how can i make sharing on my linux machine? | |

| To allow windows clients to share data on a linux machine, you need to set up your linux machine as a server, easiest way is to use swat or webmin to do this. as far as I know you will need to mount each of your partitions to access them all, but I think there is a way in windows to use a single share to represent access to multiple resources. not that familiar with windows, so you may want to double check this. | |

| when i try to use \\linuxmachine from my winXP machine it prompts me for username and password, I tried to use the username that i created in my linux machine but its not accepting. what could be wrong? | |

| try looking on your log files for a possible problem. also be sure to add the windows-machine accounts to the samba server in the
/etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd files. | |
