I have been brave and downloaded a suddenly popular Knoppix ISO and booted a spare pc with it. Runs. No problems there.
Now I want it to join our Win2003Server domain, or at least be able to see the files there.
I have the xSMBrowser on my screen (was able to figure out how to do that myself, wow).
It asks for user/pass and there is a Samba Config and Samba Config (Wins Service). I am the system admin and do know the passwords etc.
So far I have not been able to connect to the Windows server, but I also want to be sure that I don't wreck something there if I somehow get there. What is/are my next steps to see the Windows Server shares I want to find?
well if you can browse and seen the domain servers try using domain\username or username@domain when logging in
I was just born yesterday as far as Linux is concerned. That's no joke.
Connected to this with IceWeasel browser. But how to connect to the inside stuff, that I don't know. I am connected to the network because this runs through the whole router setup. Not a DMZ etc. Learning curve with potholes. All I really want at this time is connecting a domain share. When that is connected, I want to use the local hard drive to store the results of what needs to happen to the domain share. Then I will share the results of that effort here.
I'd have to be running Knoppix myself to give you step-by-step - there is usually a network browser of somekind - in my case it's Konquerer, since I'm running KDE on BSD.
if I want to look at a windows server, I will put smb://servername/share in the location bar, I am then prompted for user/pass.
With additional help, I now have it operational.
Also time to post what it is, so anyone else can try this or tell me to do something else etc.

I have thrown a few files in its way and it worked. Currently still a 0.2.1 release. I am just running it from the CD with storage to the local C: drive. Testing.
