 Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2003 8:18 am Post subject: probably easy question to answer: SAMBA |
 |
|
I think I have SAMBA working decently. I can browse a bunch of stuff off of my Gentoo box from my Windows XP box.
BUT: I can't browse my XP box at all. I've run the lisa and relisa setup from the KDE menu, but it just doesn't want to work.
So, help me out. What do you need to know about my system first?
(BTW, I have done a few hours of looking up posts, how-to's, mini-how-to's, and the answer isn't out there for me to find!) |

Did you share your disk on Win XP ?

Be shure that you use an existing username(existing on your XP box) for samba.
open a console on your linux box and type:
| Code: |
smbclient -L linuxhostname -N
|
now you should see all computers in the network by hostname.(under server)
If you can see your windowsmachine enter:
| Code: |
smbclient -L windowshostname -U administrator
password
|
now youshould see all shares on the windowsmachine.
User Administrator should exist on all XP machines if that works create a user on the XP machine and be shure that samba uses that username. |
