Ubuntu to Windows network problem
 

Hi everyone,
I have networked my windows computer with my ubuntu computer. Everything works great, I can even print off of the printer that is connected to the WinComputer. With my UbuComputer I can easily connect to the WinComputer and read, copy any file I want from it. BUT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! Although, my WinComputer sees the UbuDesktop, and when I want to connect it asks for name and password. But when I type and enter them absolutely nothing happens. I am new to Linux (one month) and I'm sure that I must have failed to assign the proper user permission on one of the computers (probably the UbuComputer). Still, I cannot figure out how to correct the problem. I have SAMBA and SAMBA Network Service installed but I'm unable to get to them through the Terminal to do anything useful. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Is there a GUI interface that would allow me to assign proper permissions?

Issue (as root)

smbpasswd -a <username>

to add <username> to the local smbpasswd file. User <username> must be GNU/Linux user.

Then acces users home from Windows computer with username/entered password you entered.

Thanks a million ZORANP!
Your excellent suggestion did it. It worked like a charm and it was simple to implement. Thanks again
