Sorry if I seem a bit dim, but I am getting on a bit. I've recently installed broadband using a desktop PC and a laptop which are wirelessly connected connected to my router. I have a separate machine running Ubuntu without a wireless card and so that is connected to the router via an ethernet

Keith, Is this Breezy? I find I have the same problem on Breezy, but i find that if I click 'Cancel' when I get the password box then I can get though. Maybe this might work for you too? It does seem to always ask you for the password - maybe this is a bug? Does anyone know if this is fixed

Hi Keith, I've seen this before. Adding a password to the accounts on the windows machines and using the same login/password in your samba setup should resolve it. Regards, Anthony On Wed, 2006-05-10 at 18:33 +0100, Keith Bowerman wrote: Sorry if I seem a bit dim, but I am getting on a bit.

I seem to remember something along these lines too... have a strong feeling it was related to the samba passwords. There is (i think - you may have to take it with a pinch of salt, my networking is not good) there is a samba setup app or config file setting the passwords. If you set this, it

I don't see how to add a password on the windows machine. It shows Ubuntu in Network Places, but it also requires a user name and password, of which I have no knowledge nor have I been able to guess logically. Keith, I don't have a windows machine to check it out but I'm pretty sure it's
