I have two computers connected via router in order to share files and printer. Both are dual system machines, XP on both and Ubuntu 5.04 on one and Mandrake 10.1 on the other.
So your network can look like any of these scenarios: 1) WinXP -- router -- WinXP 2) WinXP -- router -- Ubuntu 5.04 3) Mandrake 10.1 -- router -- WinXP 4) Mandrake 10.1 -- router -- Ubuntu 5.04 Is this correct?
With Samba both machines can communicate in both directions running Linux.
So scenario 4 works just fine. Is that correct? What about scenario 1?
However, when I try to access files from Windows to Linux, I can see the folders in My Network Places but I am denied access, "the network path was not found". >From the Linux end, I can access the Windows machine without any problems.
Is this true for both cases, i.e. scenarios 2 and 3? What do you use to manage samba shares on Linux: webmin, swat, kde, vi, other?
On another less pressing issue, I can't share the printer (USB) in any configuration. This is my first attempt at networking anything so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
How is the printer connected to the network? Via a machine, on the router, or something else?
