Connect to WINDOWS Network

Forum thread started by h3liburton on Thu, 2010-01-21 13:15

How can I connect to our WINDOWS LAN ?
I can't find any application on HAIKU.
But Internet connect is OK for me.
I can enjoy with any website.
But I don't know how to do on my local area network.

Re: Connect to WINDOWS Network

I can only get you started. You need to search for SAMBA, SMB, CIFS on this site and mailing lists ( General & Development ).

I do not believe Haiku has any of these yet so no network Windows shares. These were available for BeOS. You may find 2 or 3 of them on Haikuware but these may just be GUIs or may not work.

Hopefully someone else can give you more help.

Re: Connect to WINDOWS Network

Does anyone know where CIFS support stands now for Haiku?

It looks like there was a Google Summer of Code project to develop support last year, but when I search for information the last update I find is from July 2009 saying that it's far from finished.
