you should be able to map the drive by ip number, unless you have a dns entry setup for the unix machine....

it should look kind of like this :
\\unixmachine\sharename

as long as you have permissions, you should be able to mount the drive.Mike

Yes, but to do this you need a utility called samba.

Its freely downloadable from...

http://www.samba.org

and allows you to create fileshares on UNIX systems seeable from Windows and vice versa, I believe.

This allows a level of integration between the two OS's. What other integrations did you have in mind?

Cheers,
Tim.
