Seeing Windows NT Network From Linux

[Bradley]

I have been playing w/ this for days.

I have Samba installed and my linux box is showing up in network neighborhood of EVERY windows machine on my network.
Using linux as a client is proving more difficult. I have a GUI client (Komba) and I can SEE my Windows NT 4.0 domain and all of the computers connected to it.

I CANNOT however get into them. I can see the individual hosts but I cannot access any shared folders or printers.
I have searched for info on this subject but I can only seem to find info on how to make the linux box show in windows... not on how to make the linux box able to see the windows boxes...

Can anyone help me w/ this?

I am assuming that the folders you wish to access are indeed, shared? From the command line, type in smbclient. It will give you a list of options, and one of them is to see the shares available on a resource. I think the command is 'smbclient -L \\hostname'. I am not sure if this will help, but set the windows boxes' "Browse Master" property to no. And read the Samba NHF here at LNO.

Is there a corresponding account on in the NT domain for the one you're logged on to the Linux box? If your Linux account is not mirrored in the domain I don't believe you'll be able to authenticate properly. I'm working on pretty much the same thing but I'm way behind you on implementation.
