samba - Dec 2012 - Making Linux as client and Windows as server...

Hi,

I want to ask that is it possible in samba that we can make our linux machine as
client as Windows machine as a server,
So that we can access a folder of windows on our linux machine,

And also tell me that if we can use samba to connect two linux/unix machines.

Please tell how to do this as I am not able to make my window as server,
Do I need to require to install samba on my windows machine, if yes then how to
install this on Windows, as on server where we should place our smb.conf file.

Hallo, Nirmit,

Which Linux distribution have you installed on your client?
> Do I need to require to install samba on my windows machine,
No - it is installed. In German it is called "Netzwerkumgebung".

Viele Gruesse!
