I'm currently attached to a large LAN to access the Internet. In Win98 I can access other machines through Network Neighbourhood. I am using Win98 less and less and would like to know if (and how) it is possible to access these other mochines like Network Neighbourhood in Win98?
Thanks.
CANDY.

yes, no prob, use smbclient -L hostname to get info about the windows box, and
smbmount //server/share 'password ' -U username -c 'mount mountpoint' to mount a drive, assuming nt or userlevel sharing. if you don't have smbmount, get the latest samba source, untar it and run ./configure --with-smbmount;make;make install.
More info at samba.anu.edu.au/samba (http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba) , www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html (http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html)

Thanks for your response TuXick. Next thing I am wondering, is there any graphical utilities for use with Samba that make this process easier?

you could be lucky.
look for "samba" on freshmeat.net (http://freshmeat.net) .
http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/ might be what you're looking for.
please let me know if any of these actually
does work with smbmount.
