Guest bobbyyu Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I have a Windows computer with only XP installed and one that's dual booted with Windows and Mandriva. I want to share my Linux space to the 100% Windows computer. Here's what I've done: - set the security level to share (don't worry, I'm just sharing my files with a trusted person) - named my shares - set my shares to be browseable, read only, and public - commented I've read the recommended http://wiki.mandrivausers.org/index.php/Samba_configuration, but I don't know what kinds of logins I have to provide. Is it Administrator or is it the User Accounts that you make after installing Windows XP? I am confused because the profile Suk Wah Ling (the only profile) has no password. So what I do?

aioshin Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 try to have an account or that account ( on XP) to have a password. That might be why samba won't let you in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobbyyu Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Do you mean the profiles I create after installing Windows XP? What if I didn't specify a password for them? Further more, I set the security to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindakoe Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 My understanding is that Windows (98 at least) tries to authentciate with its current username and password to the samba server). This means that the Windows username/password should match with the Samba username/password combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
