File sharing between solaris and Windows

[nmbdel]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to solaris as I'm a windows administrator. I have installed solaris 8 intel version on my desktop and now i want to share files between solaris and windows 2000 on my laptop. How shud I configure my solaris. One more thing I have two NIC on my desktop one is connected to cable mode and the other is connected to the laptop. How I shud configure solaris so that I can access internet from laptop like in windows I use IP forwarding. How can I configure IP forwarding on solaris so that I can use all my resources. i have DHCP configured for both the cards on solaris.

Thanks,
Nisha

You could try installing Samba on Solaris and then designate certain directories as shares. Next, go to your Windows server or PC and map drives to those newly-shared directories.

samba should work for your issue
