Am pretty new to CentOS and linux.
I am trying to be able to share network drives and connect to a windows workgroup with CentOS.
Machines are as follows.
Workgroup has been changed from WorkGroup or MSHome to my own setting
All of the client machines are formatted with NTFS
Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 2000 Linux CentOS Iomega Network Drive (nas)

Was there a question in there somewhere?
All of that is fairly easy to do with Samba which should have been installed by default. What have you done so far? What is working and what is not working?

What I am trying to do is allow filesharing from linux to windows and windows back to linux.
Samba I think would work best for this, however I have no clue as to what I am doing at the moment with getting them to work.
I just need a little pointing in the right direction.

may I suggest that a network of more than 1-2 computers should have a single file server that has all the shares, and all the other computers should connect to it, so all the shared files are centralized.
peer to peer workgroup style sharing becomes a big mess rather quickly.
