I am having problems getting my Warthog to work with a Windows network. I can see the Win XP machines from Ubuntu and can read and write to them but I cannot write to Ubuntu from the Win machines.
I can ping the Ubuntu from the Win machines and it responds. When attempting to write/read Ubuntu from Windows machine, I get a User name:/Password dialog box with heading of
Connect to localost.localdomain but when I put my Ubuntu networking username/Password into this dialog box and hit <Enter> I get the same dialog box again but with the username filled in as <WinName>\<UbuntuUserName>
When I check the Ubuntu Network Settings, General Tab, Hostname is set to ubuntu,
Domain name: => Frieds.org
Enable Windows networking is checked
Domain/Workgroup => Home < this is the Workgroup that my XP machines are in.
WINS server is not checked.
When I went through the process of setting up Networking in Ubuntu, I did not tick the WINS server.
I did the sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmntsudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt
I did the smbmount //myserver/myshare /home/yourusrname/mnt, BUT it comes back saying submount: command cannot be found!
I have set up a directory called /mnt/data but nothing is in the data folder.
If smbmount returns a command not found error, then you don't have samba server installed and won't be able to mount your Linux shares on Windows. This link has a detailed tutorial about getting Samba to work in Ubuntu. If that does not help, post your errors and steps so I can try to give you a hand
