[Discuss] network admin (in-progress) needs help

[Tim Holloway]

hello everyone!

it's been quite a while since i've posted, and it's to ask for a favour.

i'm trying to hook up a replacement server so i can work on the current
server, basically to install larger hard drives.

i don't especially think it makes a difference what machine i'm running (a
compaq amd 3000+ with 768 MB of ram) to replace the dell server.

the server is running samba, but everything seems labeled and networked
through windows.

just over 20 windows xp workstations are hooked up to the network, and
there's one particular xp box right next to the dell server.

i've been trying to use the gui for samba, just so i can get things done,
and i've been mimicking the configuration on the server, even the users in
windows.

the compaq (replacement) computer is running centOS 5.2 (stable), and i've
looked at the little help pages from redhat. i've also googled it (of
course) but keep running into ways to share WINDOWS folders TO linux instead
of the other way around.

if anyone has any clue what i'm talking about, please send something up.

i'd better take a closer look at linuxquestions.org

cheers,

tim
