Somewhat. You still haven't clarified what "see" means, although I expect that you're trying to see/browse SMB shares on the RH desktop from your windows machines. Your problem is that you haven't distinguished between the concepts of "server" as a physical machine, and client/server applications. Samba is both a client/server suite of utilities, allowing you to both offer shares via CIFS/SMB to other systems, and also to mount/browse other SMB shares on Windows or other Samba "servers". Once you realize this, you'll see that you also need to configure your desktop as a "samba server". -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
