Hello, Can Samba be installed on a Windows 2000 machine (then create a share) so that on the Unix side you can mount the share thats been created (the opposite of installing Samba on Unix and then mapping a drive on a Windows 2000 machine to a Unix share)? I don't need to do this, i was just wondering. ^**********************************************************************^ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Um... you can share a folder in windows 2000. Right click on a folder a then 'left' click sharing on the context menu that appears, you don't need samba for this. Or do you want to compile samba on a win2k box and use it as a domain controller? -Rhys On 6/20/05, James Briar <james.briar@merton.gov.uk> wrote:> > > Hello, > Can Samba be installed on a Windows 2000 machine (then create a share) so > that on the Unix side you can mount the share thats been created (the > opposite of installing Samba on Unix and then mapping a drive on a Windows > 2000 machine to a Unix share)? > > I don't need to do this, i was just wondering. > > > ^**********************************************************************^ > This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and > intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they > are addressed.

Windows includes the file sharing protocol that samba talks to.
