Linux

If you have set up your samba correctly with DHCP
Your WIN 2K machine will pick up an IP and will be able to access the samba. You will have to make the user areas in samba and make sure your User has the correct rights. And are in the Valid userslist, using the link below.
Make your directories so that you can access data on the server.
Use cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
and add in the directories that you want shared that you have already created
For instance here is one of ours

[users] comment = users drive - all files stored here are backed up
path = /backup/users
read only = no
volume = LUX-USERS

Basicly Win 2K will log on to linux fine if the Samba is set up correctly.
