Gentoo+Win2k+router=???

[LotharJade]

😕 I recently set up a Gentoo Linux box that I use as a second computer. I want to set it up to also be able to share files (?file server?) with my Windows 2000 box (and in the future a laptop). What do I need to do to set that up on both ends? They are connected via a wired and wireless firewall/router (I use the wired for this).

My Linux box has the extra storage. :thumbsup:

everything n0cmonkey just said....

This should get you going.

 

[nweaver]

emerge --pretend samba

make sure you emerge the package for a samba server, and then edit the config file, start the daemon.


btw, emerge rocks!!!
