First, I've already spent hours trying to figure this out reading forums and such, plenty of them out there. Usually they don't have quite the same issue as me, and solutions are COMPLETELY over my head. Kate hates me by now, I'm sure of it.
One other thing: I am BRAND NEW. Have a house full of networked XP/Vista machines, would like to start a transition -This computer is running Kubuntu 9.04 (KDE 4.2.2), everything is working great, except:
I have 2 HDD's in this computer, one is for the OS (clean Kubuntu install, no issues), the other HDD is my media drive, mp3's and such that I access from all of my Winders machines. It is NTFS, never had an OS on it, storage only.
It shows up in Dolphin (root/media/Local Disc), even has a big icon for it at left. Can also access all my files/folders... locally. And it auto-mounts every boot.
Samba though, oh boy, this is where my head explodes...
I can see how to share my main HDD, CDROM, folders, or what-have-you in Samba, but not the stupid NTFS media drive. I have no idea how to get it shared and am ready to give up
BTW, I can access shares on other (Windows) computers from Kubuntu, no problemo. Streaming audio from an XP machine to this one (Kubuntu) right now.
Please help. Feel like I am missing something very obvious here but remain stumped because of the n00b factor. Any input is greatly appreciated.
