Re: Ubuntu-Windows network



Hey,
Open a command prompt and type this (without quotes):
'sudo smbpasswd -a <username>'
Where <username> is the username you want to add. It'll prompt you for
a new password. This username/password will work when windows asks for
it. If you want to be able to (insecurely) access without a password you
can use the username 'nobody' and no password.

Hope this helps.

cheers,
Owen.

I can see, copy and move shared windows files to Ubuntu, but Ubunto
shared files don't show up in Windows network. Ubuntu computer shows
up in Windows network as one more of the computer group, but it can't
be accessed. A user name and password is required, but nothing I write
there seems to fit. Anybody could solve this mistery?
I bet somebody could...!
Thanks.
