Can someone help me with the basics of a work group in Ubuntu server? I use to have a Windows XP machine that was connected to my MSHOME work group. It was nice because I could turn it on occasionally and connect to my Windows 7 machine and transfer files I wanted to back up over via a crossover cable.
Now, one day it stopped working. It was highly annoying. All the settings were correct. In fact, I didn't even change a setting. lol Anyway, the work group stopped all together and I couldn't connect anymore to the other computer from the XP and 7 set up
That's the story line to my problem!!
So here I am. Fully booted into Windows 7 and the latest Ubuntu server software. All I want to do is connect these 2 machines via a cross over cable. I want to back up some music from my Windows 7 machine to the Ubuntu server. How can I get Windows 7 to see a folder on the Ubuntu Server machine?
All I want to do is transfer a few folders over.. I don't think this is anything intense, but can someone give me some steps? I'm completely lost looking at a command line.
Thanks,
Dominick
