microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:

I am running XP Pro (not server). When I telnet in (from a Unix box), I
don't see any of the shared folders I have set up.

I'm not sure how to proceed on this.

I don't really understand what you're trying to accomplish? When you
telnet
in to a computer you end up working on that computer. Any shares on that
computer wouldn't be of use to you. If you want to share directories on
your Windoze machine with your *NIX machine, you need to have a samba
client installed and running on your *NIX machine. Then you can access the
Windoze shares just as you would from another Windoze box.


Machine A (Windows) has a folder. The folder is shared with the Workgroup.

Machine B (Windows) accesses the shared the folder as drive S:. When logging
into Machine B, and opening a command prompt its visible and available.

The "S:" designation is local to machine B. Another machine may access
the same share and call it "Q:".

Machine C (Unix) logs into machine B. the "S:" drive isn't there.

No. The host machine doesn't know anything about a drive "S:". It
knows that it's making a particular directory available as a network
share. It doesn't know or care what other machines are calling it.

Doing a
"net use" from inside the telnet session shows the shares correctly, but
shows them as unavailable.

If you've connected via telnet you're on the host machine, just as if
you were sitting at its console. Therefore, you don't use the network
to get to its disk drives, you just use them as you would if you were
at the machine itself.
