If you're on a cable modem most likely you should get your IP via DHCP.
Now the real question...is samba running? Is it sharing anything? Is it
properly configured? (Is it in the same workgroup as the windows machines?)
What linux dist are you working with angain?
Accessing the windows machines:
mount -t smbfs -o
username=foo,password=bar,netbiosname=hostname,ip=ip-of-windows-machine,workgroup=workgroup
//windowsbox/share /mnt/point
Of more completely:
This command is designed to be run from within /bin/mount by giving
the option '-t smbfs'. For example:
mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test
Options:
username=<arg> SMB username
password=<arg> SMB password
netbiosname=<arg> source NetBIOS name
uid=<arg> mount uid or username
gid=<arg> mount gid or groupname
port=<arg> remote SMB port number
fmask=<arg> file umask
dmask=<arg> directory umask
debug=<arg> debug level
ip=<arg> destination host or IP address
workgroup=<arg> workgroup on destination
sockopt=<arg> TCP socket options
scope=<arg> NetBIOS scope
guest don't prompt for a password
ro mount read-only
rw mount read-write
Not so sure about printing...never had a reason to print to a printer shared
by a windows box, always printed to the printer shared by the linux box.
