    Question [SOLVED] Cannot see windows computers from Ubuntu

    Hi,
    I have a wireless network with two computers, one is a 98SE box, and the other is an XP/Ubuntu dual boot. I wish to access some shared files on the 98SE computer, so I go to places->Network. Then it scans for a few seconds and comes up with an icon for "Windows Network". I double click on it and there are no computers, or shares listed. Am I doing something wrong? It was a pain to get 98SE to play nice with XP, and I'm hoping for an easier experience with Ubuntu. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Never mind, I didn't know that I had to install Samba and NFS. I did that and all is well.
