Hi RipTripper,
I'm currently trying to do exactly this at the mo... maybe between us we can sus it - I think I have forgotten everything I ever knew about linux
job so far... edit file -> /etc/samba/smb.conf : change encrypt passwords = no
save file...
load putty
put in box ip ->select telnet
open
xxxxxxx login : root
passwd
enter new password and repeat
goto windows machine browse networks
select the box it will now ask you for login details
user : root
password : new password - and this is where i'm stuck as it still doesn't let me login to see any shares that are setup in the smb.conf
i think all i'm missing is a samba server/client for the box but it will have to be a job for tomorrow now as its busy recording
