Network Windows XP Pro/Linux Mandrake 9.1

[Tom Wright]

Samba is the app you will need here, making directories and printers 
available from the linux box is fairly simple the config is in smb.conf. 
You need to run the smbd and nmbd daemons. I havent yet connected from 
llinux to windows shares but i think you need smbmount application. Anyway 
there are some great smaba howto's out there, start at http://www.tldp.org.
