On your win2k box, set up the share for the directories you want to
access.
On your linux box, set up a mount point for your win2k box
(/mnt/win2k/dir)
Since you are using DHCP, on win2k box, from a command prompt windows,
type ipconfig and remember the win2k ip address (192.168.xxx.xxx)
On linux box issue the following command
mount -t smbfs -o username=anyone,password=anypassword
//192.168.xxx.xxx/(sharename) /mnt/win2k/dir (enter)
That should let you access files in the shared directory
Obviously you must have a username and password that has access to tha
share.
Hope that helps
