Is there any support for having a UNIX share accessible from a Windows XP machine? If so, what else must I tweak? Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

What you would use depends on whether the exported share is NFS or SMB using Samba. If you are using NFS, I believe there are NFS clients for Windows, but you would make it much easier by using Samba for this purpose. Install Samba and use the web-based SWAT interface (or edit /etc/smb.conf) to set it up with a new share. There is a lot of documentation on how to do this. Cheers, Paul Eggleton
