Samba problem

[nilsA]

Thanks to good help here I was able to connect the Kubuntu 6.10 computer to my Windows network, and get Internet connection from a Win2000 computer.

Worked fine, until I started trying to move the USB wireless to the Kubuntu machine.

I found some details regarding ndiswrapper, and eventually thought I did understand some of it. Well, to cut a long story short - I failed, and lost my network first. Then I found that I could click on the Knetwork manager icon and somehow regain network connection. Internet, however, did not work. I tried using a spare Win98 at that location - no problem (same computer, just another HD.)

Then I removed the Knetwork manager. That made me loose the network and Internet. So now I'm pretty stuck.

Anyone able to help me get back?

Re: Samba problem

do the network setup with the system cabled to the router
once setup connect the wifi

it will take a restart for the network to be picked up

for the printer try the different samsung drivers in the print manager most drivers will work with most printers
sometimes its trail & error my samsung 1210 works out of the box ...

Sorry, I don't even know how to do the network setup in Kubuntu. Where is it? How?

Hi,

You will find it in System settings > Network Settings.

OK, I did look at that, and can't find any problems. Should I delete something and start over again?

What I get when I try clicking on the Samba Resources is:

No workgroup found.

Then it suggest there is a firewall - but the same happens when I disable the Windows PC firewall.
