hi Curtis,
i've used samba to share files and printers - that's what it does. it's
the linux version of what windoze calls "file and print sharing". i
guess, if you had two network cards, each on different subnets
('networks'), samba (probably) could listed for connections on each
subnet.... and you could use smbmount to mount your windoze shares.
good luck,
jason
