Hi Alex. No, There have been no updates to my Win7 during the period in
question.
As for parallel installation, I briefly reviewed the Wiki. Before I attempt, I
have a couple of questions.
FIRST, it appears to me that I will have to open the remote file from within
the parallel LO Calc in order to test. IS THIS CORRECT?
If the previous assumption is correct, please continue below.
SECOND, I need some guidance, and so far I haven't found it on my own.
In the File Services window, I set the Type as "Windows Share." I entered the
IP address of the Win7 machine for the Host (the Port is disabled).
I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO ENTER FOR THE "SHARE." I have tried a) specifying the
workgroup and b) specifying the Windows shared folder, but I'm not sure that
either is correct.
I entered the user and password as I do in the connection process I detailed
earier (since I am using the Cinnamon desktop, am I correct that Nemo is the
file manager?) and I leave the Label as auto-filled. WHAT SHOULD I ENTER FOR
THE ROOT?
Thanks for your help and patience with a Linux/LO newb.
