Enquriry to NP via their online feedback form

This enquiry has been sent to NP via their feedback form at http://np.edu.sg/corpcomm/abt_np/con_contact.aspx .

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I am a student of NP in the School of ICT.

As I use Linux for all my school work, I access the ICT network shares via an address such as “smb://ictpolo.ict.np.edu.sg/share”, instead of “\\ictpolo\share”.

To use the shares, I have to append “ict.np.edu.sg” to the name of the server, as I describe in this blog post

http://linuxnp.wordpress.com/2007/08/12/using-shared-folders-on-npnet/

written by me.

If ICT students should use “ict.np.edu.sg”, what should students from the School of BA, Engineering, HMS, etc, use for their school’s network shares?

I would like to publish this information on the blog http://linuxnp.wordpress.com with your kind permission, to benefit NP students who use Linux. If NP does not provide technical support for Linux users, such as directions on how to use networked printers in NP or access shares on NPNet, I will.

Thank you for your help!
