Ravi,

Install CIFS server on your UNIX server. This is HP's implementation of M$'s CIFS protocol.

You can download CIFS server from http://software.hp.com

Once installed, you need to edit /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file to export the file system to the NT users.

Install the software first, then we will walk you through the configuration.

Hi,

I'll second Sundar's advice on getting CIFS. I'd also suggest you put aside some time to read the documentation on CIFS too - so you understand the concepts and the basics of its' usage. This will make it easier to follow further advice that you get from the forum ;)

There's a useful O'Reilly book, Using Samba available in hardcopy, or supplied online with CIFS.

regards,

Darren.

Ok,
when you have installed cifs (samba) you can take control of the configuration software (swat) using the Browser on windows:
