???nfs or samba????

[andre]

on my all linux lan, I need to network like the microsoft networkneighbourhood.

using redhat 6.2 I tried nfs but got some complications: clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered.....when I showmounts.

I only have enough effort left, to get me through the fixing of nfs, or installing samba. Not both.

Wich one do you think it should be?

:confused:

Samba is supposed to be fairly easy to setup and configure. There's even a NHF on Samba and plenty of help on the web.

Unfortunately I dont know how to fix NFS for you, as I have finally just got it working myself. I have a win/linux mix on my netwoyrk, so I have samba running on my mandrake server. I tried connecting to my server with samba and it gave me a FTP like interface...not exactly what I wanted...and I dont think that's what you want either...

So I had to setup NFS, and now after mounting the shared folder shows up as a mounted drive on my machine...

So I think you want NFS to get fixed...I could be wrong afterall though however...
