You must "MOUNT" the fileserver on your Linux file sytem tree. 2. You must set the file permissions on BOTH sides so you can access the files you need. Try exploring down several of the trees under the root directory and see if you already have the proper File Server directories mounted. I would look in /mnt and in

Install Win2K as 2nd OS on top of NT4 server?
The problem is that I can't get the file partitions set to 777 on the Win partitions. The best I seem able to get is 775, which means I can't edit Win files or download to the Win disks.
