wow first time i might be able to help someone with linux. hahaha well first thing is... This will only work for linux redhat7.2 and up and pink tie linux 9.0 which is linux red hat. Now I do it by useing the smb and i can share from red hat to windows. Now here are the commands that I put into linux since as I understand it and have seen to work is that windows has smb all ready installed so you need not configure anything on it.. get to a shell or a termiinal and type the following.... chkconfig --level 5 smb on then... service smb start now that should start your smb service. since im still newb and dont quite understand how to make my own config file I just use the sample one to while in terminal or shell I prefer shell to get there ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 f3 all the way though f6. f7 will talk you back to the window. now enter this into the command line use the vi editor vi /etc/samba/smb.conf and go to the bottom of the file and you will see [myshare] now just copy that exaple giving your own names of users of course. Now you make the users in linux and the same users in windows.. Then you must also use this command to add users to the smb service k..... The command is smbpasswd -a [username] now the default workgroup for linux is Mygroup so you could change it useing the same file or you could change your windows workgroup to MYGROUP and everything should be fine.. O and if you want to see the network goto start here and type smb:/ and that should get you there. If anyone else knows another way or can also tell me how to make my own config file for smb please post. And for those who answerd my other post I got my sound working and my video working also ^^:; thanks to all who helped.. I will post on my oringal post how and what I did as it might help someone or someone may knew another way that is [censored]ier ^^ Hope this helps you

Thank you for the help. What i just realized is that the sndconfig. now do you know how to install it without reinstalling my system or is that my only option and then once I do run the sndconfig at what point to i tell it to use those drivers. Also if you guys can help me I would like to make my display look better. As I said before it does not look as nice as my windows boot =\ which sucks because I would rather do things on my linux box vs my windows. Just to share what I have learned so far. I can make my windows see linux and share folders and I can make linux see windows and share folders. but make sound and video work hmmmmmmmm beyond me hahah any way I have also learned that I do have some sound after playin with this but it says that my /dev/dsp does not configure/work right something to that affect to were I have to click ok to get rid of that dialog box. Well I know I have said alot and I thank you all for your help

SO does anyone have any more thoughts as to why or what i can do to make my sound card work. Also I dont think my video card is working as good as it could be meaning the graphics are not as sharp as they should be or as they are on my windows boot. thank you

thank you all for the help. well my laptop is an ibmthinkpad 600e and the disto im useing in pinktie 9.0 witch i found out is really linux redhat not because im some supper smart linux guy but because when i looked in the cd it has redhat all over it and they both look the same hahahha any way. My sound does not work right nor does my wireless card. now that might be due to the fact that its an microsoft card =\. i know please dont hate me my gf got it for me as a gift ;} got to love them. anyway if you need anymore information just let me know. and again thank you for your time.
