    Question Steps needed for file and printer sharing

    Hey all,

    I am trying to set up file and printer sharing between my Windows XP SP3 machine (with two printers connected via USB) and my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop which both access the Internet through a wirless router. What I am unsure of are the specific steps and processes needed to do so. I am just so confused as different sites are offering different solutions.

    Thank you for your consideration!

    Question Re: Steps needed for file and printer sharing

    Hey,

    Thanks for the link. I am having trouble connecting the Ubuntu machine to the Windows server. On Ubuntu, I have setup Samba and smbfs setup. The workgroups on both machines are the same yet only the ubuntu machine shows up in the workgroup. I have tried connecting to the Windows machine through Places -> Connect to Server but it has failed to work. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

    Thanks.

    The Windows machine uses Windows XP Media Center Edition with Service Pack 3.

    The Ubuntu version is Karmic Koala (9.10).
