I am having no luck mounting my windows 2000pro shared folder to my Redhat 7.3 machine. ANY IDEAS?? Please HELP!

yeah man do this so it will always be mounted 1) in /mnt, create a directory (win2000) 2) in /etc/fstab, enter the line "/dev/X /mnt/win2000 Y ro,user,umask=000 0 0" where X = partition which your windows is on e.g /dev/hda1 Y = type of filesystem for windows (ntfs, fat32) 3) save, logout and reboot - every time u boot linux now this folder will mount when your linux fs mounts. This will give you read only access to your windows partition (very handy) which is enough to play music, transfer files from win to linux but not enough to screw windows up if you do something disastarous to linux. hope that helps mate rob

Sorry but RedHat Linux 7.3 (and even 8.0) does not support NTFS out of a box. As a result, you MUST re-compile your kernel to activate it! Read README/INSTALL in /usr/src/linux or download the latest kernel, 2.4.19, from www.kernel.org... Lawrence

It is 2 different machines. 1 is win 2000 and 1 is Linux.

In that case, you have to install samba. You can get more information at www.samba.org! Lawrence
