 Although Linux is increasingly making inroads into the desktop market, its origins are very much server based. It is not surprising therefore that Linux has the ability to act as a file server. It is also extremely common for Linux and Windows systems to be used side by side both in home and business environments. It is vital, therefore, that files on a Linux system be accessible to both Linux, UNIX and Windows based systems over network connections. Similarly, shared folders residing on Windows systems must also be accessible from Fedora systems.

 Windows systems share resources such as file systems and printers using something called Server Message Block (SMB). In order for a Linux system to serve such resources over a network to a Windows system and vice versa it must, therefore, support SMB. This is achieved using Linux based technology called Samba. In addition to providing integration between Linux and Windows systems, Samba may also be used to provide folder sharing between Linux systems (as an alternative to NFS which was covered in Sharing Fedora Linux Folders with Remote Linux and UNIX Systems).

 Next, the firewall needs to be configured to allow Samba traffic. To achieve this, run the Firewall Configuration tool by selecting the ''System->Administration->Firewall'' menu option.

 As previously mentioned, Samba is a two way street, allowing not only Windows systems to access files and printers hosted on a Fedora system, but also allowing the Fedora system to access shared resources on Windows systems. To access any shared resources on a Windows system, begin by selecting the ''Places->Network'' desktop menu option. This will display the ''Network'' browser dialog including an icon for the Windows network (if one is detected) as illustrated in the following figure:
