Hi All
I may not make tomorrows meeting as I have another meeting starting at
6pm, don't know how long it will go on for.
If I'm not there could anyone living within Wimborne area and has a good
knowledge of networking, and would be willing to visit me to help sort
out my network problem please get in touch off list.
As Terry suggested (last meeting) I found a GUI front end for SAMBA but
did not understand some terminology used. I think I may need to start
from scratch again but that would be very time consuming for me and I
still would not know what was being asked for!
For info I have a Netgear dual band router, 2x1Gb NAS (Netgear Duo V2),
Print server, desktop and a laptop computer (both Linux) and finally a
new Panasonic 'smart' TV. It all works individually but I can not get
them all to 'talk' to each other. E.g. can't see any pictures on TV from
the backup HD, nor can I get to any files on the other computers. Tv
gets onto Web OK via wireless router.
Not affecting the above but my Back-up HD has just stopped working so
'lost' all old info, think it's a relay not switching the HD on. (this
was connected directly to the routers USB ).
Have not put anything on the list as I'm not sure how to describe the
problems and provide the technical info, nor do I know what is causing
the problem. Something (Samba?) keeps asking for a Workgroup password
but none of the ones I give it are correct and I'm going round in circles.
I really wanted to ask 'face to face' at the meeting as it's so long
winded trying to explain what's wrong in words.
Hope I do get to the pub tomorrow.
