Hello My Name Is hamid And I have a server of Windows 2000 and solaris 8 on the network i there any solution that i share files folders printers between solaris 8 and windows 2000 and through windows to solaris 8. i come to know about samba but i don't know how to configure it and from where to download it

www.samba.org you will need to unzip and unarchive it (gunzip -c samba-latest.tar.gz | tar xvf -;), then compile and install it (follow the instructions given). After unpacking it the install doc is in: samba-2.1a/docs/htmldocs/UNIX_INSTALL.html To allow you to use the graphical configuration tool (SWAT) you need to setup some other things. add this to your /etc/inetd.conf (as one line) swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat and add this to /etc/services swat 901/tcp # samba swat then start samba /usr/local/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/bin/nmbd -D in a web browser http://localhost:901 and use SWAT to configure it. If you need to restart the Daemon: pkill smbd pkill nmbd and then restart it as above. good luck, hope this wasn't too confusing

hello hamid software XWinPro is interface between windows (98,2000) and solaris that with software you can access to solaris at windows(98,2000) then work on solaris.
