    Stormbringer,
    can I translate this howto in my language and give it to my friends?

    This thread seems to have run it's course. People are having problems here and getting no answers!. I'm investigating using Ubuntu in my network but this frightens me somewhat as one post seems to imply Ubuntu still has bugs.
    Thanks for your time.

    Re: HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows

    The reason for the lack of replies is that the OP has not visited the forums since February 12th 2007.

    I find that Ubuntu is very stable. Having once got my samba shares working I saved my config files elsewhere and every time I upgrade or change my system I just copy them to the /etc/samba directory.

    Of course Ubunutu has bugs. All operating systems have bugs in them from Windows to Ubuntu to AIX. That said, Ubuntu is pretty stable and with a bit of tweaking, samba works pretty well.

    This thread is still very active and helpful. The configuration given in the howto is still valid for most situations.

    Actually, when I used the GUI it was very easy except I still couldn't see my Linux box from my WinXP box. So I entered the sudo /etc/init.d/samba start command and voila: visible from WinXP (although I didn't try to browse or update any files yet). Also I didn't see what happens if I reboot if the SAMBA START is automatically performed during boot. Also in the Ubuntu community documentation Setting Up SAMBA they have a reference to:

    Configuring your computer
    Start the network configurator using the following menu:


    (see attached image)


    System -> Administration -> Network



    You will need the General tab, in the middle.





    I am running 8.10 with current updates and I don't have such a panel. Where do I get one? That would be a really nice addition to my Ubuntu.

    Re: HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows

    I have now installed samba and webmin and after a days fiddling and learning have got a couple of shares working from windows. Looking forward to getting inot this a bit deeper. My only problem is that when I get the server shares running for everyone in the office someone has to turn the machine on in the mornings as the bios does not have any boot options from power on.
    Thanks for your time.

    Re: HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows

    I went through the whole configuration. How do I actually access the Windows XP machine on my network. I see it in my Network window but when I double click into it it's a blank screen. I know its accessible because I was able to access from my Mandriva machine.

    Re: HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows

    Stormbringer - It has probably been some time since the last post. I have migrated from SuSE SLES10 to UserOS 8.o4 (PC User Version in Australia). It's a very lite version of Heron I think. Thanks for the post. I had an awful time getting my Home/Local/Share up and running and I'm not quite sure how I did it. After I followed your Tute I could not get my ******* boxes to R/W to the share. All the users on my system could see and R/W to their own private folder. I changed the ownership using chown as you indicated and this did not work. Somehow under the GUI I managed to change the permissions and it works just great. I think it was the the change to the same name of the group from user to the name I put into smb.conf. This may seem like its going nowhere but I really wanted to thank you for the great howto. I will look forward to testing out the PDC version.
