i'm trying to get a folder in my kubuntu partition shared on my home network. the main problem is that when i try to view our home network via samba/konqueror, it doesn't show my computer (the kubuntu partition), although it does show the other computers. now, when i do 'sudo konqeuror' in konsole and navigate to the network, i can see my computer and the other computers, as well as the folder i'm trying to share. if i go to another computer and try to access the folder, it sees my computer in our network, but if i try to access it, it asks for a password. i never set a password, i tried my root password but it didn't work. how do i fix this? i want averyone on my network to be able to read and write to whatever folders i'm currently sharing. also, how do i make my own computer visible without being root?

thanks

bump...

Please read the rules on waiting before bumping.

But you'll need to make sure you have samba installed and configured to export the directories you want shared. If you want all users to have access, look into "share" level access, as opposed to user level access.

i have samba installed, but how do i configure it? and how do i get to the share level access?

thanks

can anybody help me??

By either using the SWAT tool or editing smb.conf. Have you read the documentation on samba.org?
