Sounds lik you need the help of the Samba Client. If all you really want to i sbe able to share network resources back and forth, you just need to get a Samba distribution downloaded that is going to work with RedHat 7.2
Visit the following site for some more information on Samba:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/samba.html
This should allow any Windows based machines to see your Linux box, and vice versa.

Samba client is probably already installed on your RH7.2 install. At the command line type: smbclient See if it replies with Usage commands of smbclient. If you have a NT share you want to mount to you Linux box, try this(assuming you are part ofthe domain).
1. Create a directory to mount the NT share to on your Linux box, ex. /home/user/Share
2. As root, mount -t smbfs -o username=,password=,workgroup= //server1/sharename /home/user/Share
The share will be mapped, you must have correct permissions to the network share.
Good luck,
Bill
This is helping me. tried this, but I
get an error: bash:
password: no such file or directory.
replace "password" with my actual
network password. I am able to
connect to shares using smbclient,
but its not like a drive. Your
suggestion is deffinetly along the
lines I want to go. Any idea why I
might be getting this error
Bill,
After a little bit of messing around with the
syntax I finaly got it. it ended up being
mount -t smbfs -o
username%password,domain
//servername/sharename /home/user/share
if you repost i will award you the points, cause
i wouldve never got it without the asnwer.

I'm glad you fixed your problem. So you used the mount command you listed, wow that is different than what I use to mount my shares. Yeh.. as long as it works. I will try your way as well.
Thanks
Yea it works, but I found a better
way using fstab. Works much better.
