Okie dokies, heres the jiff.

My Computer : Red Hat Linux 8.0
Sis' Computer : Win 98 SE
Dad's Computer : Win 98 SE (but i showed him Linux today and he was very impressed    )


How do i set up these computers to be networked as if they were like network neighborhood?

The computers all link up at the Router for ADSL and i am able to ping the local IP's/Hostnames of the seperate computers if zonalarm is turned off on those computers.
Networking with the sisters computer would be a dream cos she is the only one with a burner so if i need to burn stuff it needs to first get to her computer.

So... How do i do it???!???

Windows98 does use passwords for networking.  Each windows share must be set up with a share name and password before it can be acessed with smbmount or smbclient.

You can leave the password blank but that is foolish.

oh so the password doesnt mean the windows logon password, but the password you use when setting up the samba server on the windows bochs? am i right?
