Linux Samba

Yes. You can do this just like you would any other client locally. The only thing you may have to be aware of is if there is a firewall in between - you will have to get your firewall administrator to open up the ports Samba is using. I am assuming you have done this for local clients so I won't list the whole description (that could be long). If you do need it just email my alias. As for the ports that need to be open here is a list.

I hope this helps.
