And this year I started on Linux. I ain't knocking Linux I love it. I have two computers dual booting it, and one with it under VM player. Just getting a bit frustrated with the fact my networking wont fully work. Anyway samba is all good in theorey and works like a charm for one computer but not the next, I have been through all the setup phases of both and compared them many times and still cant find why the heck it wont work fully. On the xp computer it shows the path to my home here on this one like //intel/reg yet it keeps saying I cant access it maybe I don't have access or some stupid message.
But I will look at the links the other people have put up and keep at it. reg
