Configuring Windows Clients You ll be glad to know that configuring Windows to use your new Samba server is quite simple. SMB is Microsoft s native language for resource sharing on a local area network so much of the installation and setup on the Windows client side has been taken care of already. The primary issues that we will cover in this chapter involve communication and coordination between Windows and Unix two completely different operating systems. Samba uses TCP IP to talk to its clients on the network. If you aren t already using TCP IP on your Windows computers this chapter will show you how to install it. Then you ll need to configure your Windows machines to operate on a TCP IP network. Once these two requirements have been taken care of we can show how to access a shared disk on the Samba server. This chapter is divided into three sections. The first section covers setting up Windows 95 98 computers while the second covers Windows NT machines. The final section provides some prerequisite information on how SMB connections are made from Windows clients and servers which is useful as we move into the later chapters of the book. Setting Up Windows 95 98 Computers Unfortunately Windows 95 98 wasn t designed for a PC to have more than one user that concept is more inherent to a Unix operating system or Windows NT. However Windows 95 98 does have limited support for multiple users if you tell it the operating system will keep a separate profile desktop layout and password file for each user. This is a far cry from true multiuser security. In other words Windows 95 98 won t try to keep one user from destroying the work of another on the local hard drive like Unix but profiles are a place to start. Accounts and Passwords The first thing we need to do is to tell Windows to keep user profiles separate and to collect usernames and passwords to authenticate anyone trying to access a Samba share. We do so via the Password settings in the Control .
