This is my first attempt at networking with LInux. Ok...I have clean install of Mandrake 8.1 at work. Our NT based LAN uses a DHCP server, and this serves up the IP address to my Linux client just fine. I can get out on the internet through our gateway router. However I cannot browse the network since I cannot login to the PDC. I know I must use SAMBA. I checked my installed packages and SAMBA client shows up. Questions: 1. I do not know exactly what changes I need to make in the smb.config file to get access working. 2. How do I get SAMB running or check to see if it's already running? TOPS?
