Re: I cant browse the linux machine on Windows 2000...
you need to configure your samba server which is your linux machine
to accept windows 2000 client.
if you are using redhat 8 than you get a utility sawat to configure your linux samba server you have also find brief description or help on each parameter.
you will also need to add users in your samba user database.

Yes, you'd need SMB whether you need to access files from the the Linux server or to upload files from it. You can choose to not expose any shares from the SAMBA box, but you need SAMBA installed and running no matter what.kadnan wrote:hello

This is not a problem. SAMBA works quite well with Windows domains. Coupled with winbind, there's almost nothing SMB related you can do in Windows that you can't on Linux. For example, name resolution (ping in addition to nmblookup), authentication (login to linux using your domain account) etc. set
local master = no
to stop samba from even participating in browser election.

Aslam-o-Aliakum,
As far u said
To browse machine and network + access client
smbclient
for browsing machine
e.g. #smbclient -I <ip address of windows machine> -L <name of windows machine>
smbclient -I 10.0.0.1 -L devil
To mount a network folder or drive
smbmount <machine path> <mount point path> username%password
(if shared to guest no need of username and password but remember security level of machine is SHARED level)
e.g. smbmount //<machine name>/<folder or drivename> /mnt/net devil%awaken
