Re: network folder

["Rhodri" <txiplis@hotmail.com>]

the network drive is Unix and I want to have access to my network drive
(mapping my network drive), namely,

\\severname\myhomedirectory

from my computer, not from the office's computer
the system is controlled my  tsg (technical support group)

I connect to that folder from my office's computer which runs redhat 7.3.
The problem is that I do not have admistrative rights in that computer
(i.e., I do not have root access), so I do not know how they did it (and I
can tell you they are not going to tell me ).

My own computer, this is, not the office's one, it is a novatech P4 laptop
which runs mainly debian (woody) although I left a litte partition for
windows xp (3 Gb). Using windows, I can connect to my office's network drive
using tools>map network drive> where I type the name of my server and my
user name.

Given that I am quite new at debian (one month using it) I am not pretty
sure if I should use nfs through dhcp or I should use samba instead.

I have been looking for documentation about the matter, but all I got was
how to create LANs, etc.
I did not find anything related with my problem

If you can give some advices and/or recomend me some documentation to read
(I like to read :))

I would be grateful

Thanks lot
Rhodri
