bigjohn Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I have a laptop (W98SE) plugged into my tiny network. I understand that Samba is whats used to manage file and printer sharing. My main "box" has a parallel port printer plugged into it, also theres a network laser printer plugged into my hub along with the above laptop. I've installed everything that I can think of (samba related), and read the SMB howto (but most of it's meaningless). It goes on about shares, daemons and other weird stuff that I've never heard of. Could anyone point me towards a nice, easy, idiot level set of instructions that explains what I need to do once I've got samba installed (from both a linux and windows point of view)? as I haven't got the faintest idea of what to do. regards John p.s. Oh and yes I did find some O'Really stuff from one of their Samba books, but again I didn't understand any of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Have you tried the Samba FAQ? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Have you tried the Samba FAQ? :unsure: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blimey, thanks spinynorman. I was looking through the faqs to see if there was something like that. It must have been staring me in the face! At least it'll give me something to ask stupid questions about when I get stuck! thanks again. regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
