Networking with kubunutu and vista

[courtus]

I did a quick search but couldn't find what I wanted. Basically my desktop pc has a lot of files that I want to play on my laptop.

So my desktop has kubuntu, and I installed samba, my files are still in ntfs format, and when I click on the drive in the file browser I have to enter my password, and if I right click and it says a sharing tab, I click on configure but nothing opens or happens, is it because they're ntfs?

I just want to be able to browse the files on my desktop from my laptop as I did when the desktop was running windows.

Thanks in advance

Re: Networking with kubunutu and vista

If it is only you on the network then maybe this smb.conf will help.

workgroup = FINTANWS
interfaces = eth0
map to guest = bad user

[Data]

path = /Data
read only = no
guest ok = yes
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
force user = fintan2



[HP1600]

printing = cups
path = /var/tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes

I use this on my linux / xp as vmware guest so you may have to play with the interfaces.

For /Data give the name of your Folder you want to share.

Obviously you will have to change the workgroup and username to yours

Hope that helps
