Hello all I am having some problem with my home network file sharing. I have connected two computers at my home with a cross-over LAN cable. One computer runs Ubuntu 8.04 and another runs Windows XP sp2. I have installed 'samba' and 'smbfs' on my Ubuntu machine. Now the problems are:
1. I can 'see' and write on the HDD of my XP machine from the ubuntu machine if I TURN ON the XP MACHINE FIRST and THEN TURN ON THE UBUNTU MACHINE. I cant ping the xp machine if the ubuntu machine is turned on first. How can i solve this situation? NB: I tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'; but no luck. 2. My XP machine cannot see the ubuntu machine. I have made my '/home' partition enabled for sharing and guest access. How can i write and read from the HDD of the ubuntu machine from the xp machine?? Could anyone please help me out of this mess?
