Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,
http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
Vista File and Printer Sharing-
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx
Windows XP File Sharing -
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040
Printer Sharing XP -

Default Re: Can't share files or printer
I've managed to get files shared from xp to ubuntu. Now for my next problem.
I can't access the network printer which is connected to the xp machine. I
don't know if my cupsys or smb configuration files are set-up correctly for
printing to a network printer or maybe it is the gutenprint drivers, I just
don't know.

Here is the out-put of net share.

Default Re: Can't share files or printer
I have tried everthing but nothing seems to work. Also when I try to access
to "View Workgroup Cpmputers" I get an error message stating:

"Mshome is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contack the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions.

The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."

I get this message even when I have my ubuntu box turned on. I tried to ping
ubuntu but the request timed out. any suggestions?
