Greetings!

Our company has 1 UNIX box running sun solaris using TCP/IP, we have several NT servers, we want NT and UNIX see each other on the same network system connected using 3 x 10/100 switches. We've already tried installing PC-NFS to one of the NT server but still they cant see each other. Does NT knows how to connect itself to UNIX?? Do we need a third party software to interconnect NT and UNIX? Thank you in advance. . .

www.samba.org it's freeware, u can install it on the solaris machine and the nt's will see the solaris like an nt pc, on the solaris side there's an utility called smbmount wich allows you to mount nt shares like nfs.

use sunlink, it's free with solaris. you can connect to \\unixmachine\c$ which effectively maps you to root. you can also configure the unix box to act as a domain controller...
