Thanks for your help.
All we need to do is replace the network server Netware F:drive with a
Samba server F:drive.
I have done what I should have done from the start, added a harddisk to
my office computer and installed Mandrake 9.2 with a Samba server.
I will now try and have a XP workstation talk to my Samba server.
Lets hope I get this to work since it will move the office I work in
into a Linux enviroment.
I will let you know.

If all of your users require read / write access to the drive, and you
are not that bothered about security, you could just setup an anonymous
share... that way, all you need to do is setup the share itself.
