I am trying to setup a share on a redhat machine, that can be read by windows machines. I have tried to setup samba and the share correctly but I think my inexperience with linux has got me stuck. Does anyone know of some links that can explain the use of samba, or someone who can kindly explain what i need to do to get a share working and visible. I can ping the machine, but trying to access with \\ ip address\ wont work.
