It would help greatly if you gave a bit more detail... like what have you tried, commands run, errors given.

It could be as simple as a permissions issue thru to configuration, ending (possibly) in finding out that the systems are not even networked.

The more detail you give, the quicker it can be fixed.

Sure, I am new to the Linux side, so I am trying to figure out what exactly needs to be setup on the Red Hat box so it is allowed access to the Windows File Server and other windows 2003 domain resources.

Basically, I am installing and setting up an SSL VPN on the linux box. This would give remote users who login to it access to Windows resources such as terminal server, Windows file share, internal IIS websites, etc.  Let me know what you think.  

So are you saying Samba will do this for me?
