guardianx · 08-09-2005, 09:24 AM

i'm trying to let my ubuntu view the windows networkgroup named goku
(this network is working fine because my windows can see/share with each other )

this is what i did.
installed samba
change the conf workgroup=goku
reboot system (because i didnt know how to reboot samba via shell )

then went to places >network server to look for the windows pc. non to be found

can someone knowledgeable help me out please

Haven't used samba myself, but if I've understood what everyone else says about it, then:

There's a samba server, and a samba client. Use the server if you want to connect windows to GNU/Linux; use the client if you want to connect GNU/Linux to windows.

Did you install the right one?
