I understand I can connect to my BSD box from Windows once Samba is
installed. My question is can I go the other way? Will Samba allow me
to mount a Windows share?

Thanks,

Chris

add kernel support for samba fs and use mount_smbfs.

If you have Samba installed on your FreeBSD 4.6, there are two ways to
connect to Windows shares. I assume you have either GNOME or KDE. If
you have KDE 3, launch the Konqueror file browser, and in the Location
field, enter smb://192.168.1.1/SharedDirectory/, assuming that the
server has the address 192.168.1.1. The "better" way is to mount the
share. For example, create a directory called /mnt/SambaMount and use
mount_smbfs command.

Thanks. I'll look into that.

Yes, I would prefer to mount the share so I can make use of the extra
disk space I have available under Windows.

Thanks for the reply.

Hello

But don't you have to disable the encrypted password option in samba?
