Hello folks once again... I have installed Linux RH 7.2 and can ping almost all the computers on my LAN .. but how to view all the Pcs as Network Neighborhood in windows ... Your help will be greatly appreciated .. Thank you all Long Live LLLINUX

Wel you will need to setup samba for your file server. Run a search on google for samba setup you'll be sure to find your answer there. Hint: Swat is a great utility for configuring samba John

download 'LinNeighborhood' which works as Network Neighborhood and to edit your smb.conf file, dload gnosamba...also, after u dload gnosamba, copy you smb.conf file from \etc\samba to \etc.....works for me!

If you have Gnome or KDE, you should be able to access your shares with those. In the address/path field, type in "smb://[name of your workgroup]" without quotes. All the computers on the network should show up now, the ones with active shares. Or "smb://[name of computer you want to access on the network]".

This assumes you already have samba set up correctly. Good luck.

Thanks everyone, I'll try out all your recommendations and let u know about my progress ... Your respose was highly apreciated .. talk to ya latterzzzz
