I''ve got my Linux PS2 and Win2000 box on the same home network. I have samba running on the PS2 and from windows I can access the PS2''s file system. However, my question is this: is it possible to do this the other way round and access a win2000 share from the Linux PS2 box? Thanks for any response. Henry

Samba also comes with a commandline SMB client. Don''t remember its name; smbclient maybe?

Mount accepts as a type smbfs, which mounts an SMB partition. Check the manfiles of mount and samba for more information.

You also need smbfs support built into your kernal, or loadable as a module.

Try "man mount"...
