[plug] Samba w/NT

[Garry Moir]

Assuming you're using tcp/ip, then just put the ip address of the Linux box 
in the default gateway definition.
(Network Neighborhood->Protocols->TCP/IP->Properties->Default Gateway)
This also assumes that both the NT and Linux boxes are on the same subnet 
(NT is brain dead when it comes to routing to a differnet subnet)

I haven't got NT to show Linux in the Network Neighborhood, but I don't 
really mind about that, 'cos the NT mightn't know where the Linux is, but 
the Linux knows where the NT is.

Hope some of that helps.
Cheers
