Connecting to windows machine

[bkv]

Hi

I am trying to connnect my Kubuntu machine with a Win XP machine on my local network. I want to read and write to the window machine's hard disk.

So far i have only been able to ping the windows machine. What do I need to do? From Network Folders in Konqueror, I open Network Services, and I am told that the Zeroconf daemon is not running.

When I try Samba Share, I am told that it is not poosible to find any work groups in the network.

-bkv

Re: Connecting to windows machine

You have Samba installed? And when you say Samba Share, what program are you using? The easiest way, after Samba is installed, is to run:

sudo kcontrol

. From there, select Internet/Samba and set up your shares. Make sure that you use the same workgroup name for both Windows and Linux, of course.

Thanks a lot. I got it to work now.
I find this too difficult in Kubuntu, though
