Hi
I'd like to be able to get at my shared folders on my XP machine.

I have 2 PCs
(1: Mandriva 2006/XP dual boot)
(2: XP sp2)
My (2) PC has had the home network wizard run on it and shows as AMD64 under MsHome.

I've got a D-Link ADSL router connecting the PCs.

I know I've got to use Samba and type something like smb://AMD64 from Konquerer but I can't get this to work. Is there a wizard or something that will go and do this for me perhaps?

Are there any firewall considerations?

thanks
K
(PS internet works fine from Mandriva PC.

For my experience konqueror just working well to browse the lan, however please make sure:-
1. Windows XP firewall is open for file sharing
2. Make sure your mandriva understand who is AMD64(You can edit /etc /hosts)
3. Windows xp has at least 1 share folder

Regards,
Ks

thanks kstan
got it sorted in the end, heres what I did;
1. went to my DLINK router page on http://192.168.1.1 and checked out the currently connected DHCP client list. I spotted my linux pc but it had the name AMD64 ! so I'd done something well wrong here.
2. go to mandriva control center
2a. reconfigure a network interface, under the DHCP tab, untick assign host name and give it the name "Mandriva".
2b. Manage Host Connections, my router was already there as 127.0.0.1/192.168.1.1/192 local host. Added a new connection for my XP PC 192.168.1.2/192.168.1.2/amd64.
3. back to my router and I have 2 clients now connected amd64 and Mandriva (from 2a above)
4. smb://amd64/ in Konquerer and theres my network shares.

now to try and get the usb printer on the XP machine to work from here!

It's hard work though ain't it?

Congratulation.
