I guess I hadn't up till I mailed out the e-mail. At about the same time I was messing with some of the settings through the KDE>System> <something> and now it works just like a dream. Sure hope I can figure out what I did in case I have to do it again. > > after that, all depends of the windows version. I bet you must have > passwd enabled on windows (but don't know how you can do that) No password needed with Windows. Just have to tell it what to share. Did notice one strange thing. In Windows the default home network name is MSHOME. OK, plug that into Samba. BINGO, there it is. BUT, when I'm looking back at SuSE from Windows it's on "Tuxnet". In case anyone is wondering why I want this setup. Sometimes I'm cruising around and run across something I want to try in Windows. If I download to the Linux box it's a pain to get over to Windows. If I try to find the exact page in Windows it's a pain because I use one monitor, keyboard and mouse, through a KVM switch, on both computers.

Right now I have it working pretty well. Not with the regular settings for this monitor, but with some generic settings. > >> with, what I consider, THE ultimate backup utility.

AND if I had cleaned out the download folder would have been less. I guess I'm not a "power user". I've never been able to fill a 40 gig hard drive. > >> Why can't the instructions be "SIMPLE".

Most of the answers I see seem to be pretty straight forward [ did kibitz for a while before I posted ]. MY, problem is that I'm not to swift with CLI commands. Still pretty much Greek to me. > > >> eMachine 3506 >> 3.5 GHz Dual Core Celeron >> 1 Gig >> Windows XP only *<[:op [ Don't know if I will use the Vista upgrade or >> not Wonder what it would bring on eBay. *<[:oD ] > > better not, not powerfull enough :-) needs upgrading :-) According to Microsoft all that's "required" is an 800 MHz processor, 512 meg memory, and 15 gig hard drive space. eMachine suggests 1 gig memory. Which means, probably 1.5 gig for an "acceptable" performance level. That's in the works. > > jdd > Anyway, thanks for the response.
