Yes,
grab the samba.dsl extension..

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....mba.dsl

It contains the gui 'LinNeighborhood' , and an easy way
to mount fileshares in the Windows Networks..

samba.dsl must be loaded at boottime.
assuming win pc is called jlspc1 and remote directory is called htemp and username of win machine is jls, this is the command u have to add to /home/dsl/.xinitrc before the fluxbox line
smbmount //jlspc1/htemp /home/dsl/htemp/ -o username=jls%,fmask=644,dmask=755,uid=1001,gid=50,debug=0 &

in /opt/bootlocal.sh add this lines

hey thanks guys, everything worked great. But i still have a problem.
I did some config at the smb.conf so i can view my files at my windows box.

My linux computer was named after "Box"
My fileshare is "halldocs", so the path becomes "//Box/halldocs"

I have no idea why the name is "Box" but i certainly don't like it.
How do i change the name Box????
