Can't access shared linux folder on Win7 machine (solved)
Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2012 10:24 am
I installed Mint 12 awhile back and love it. I personally have made the switch permanent from windows. My son however is still running win, 7 to be exact. I have shared my music folder and checked allow guest access on it. In my Samba config file my computer name is WORKGROUP and allow guest access is yes. The win7 machine is in WORKGROUP as well. From the win7 machine, He can see my computer and my shared music folder. When he tries to access the music folder it gives him this error. I have been reading some tutorials on sharing folders and it seems like everything is set right. I am not sure what elso to do and was wondering if someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong?
