I`m running Mint Celena and loving it!
I also have an XP machine which Mint "sees" just fine, and I am able to access all my Windows shared folders.
However, when I go to my XP machine under "Networking" I dont see my Mint shared folder!
In Windows I have to access "View Workgroup Computers" just to see my Mint computer, but when I try to open the Mint computer,
I get a Windows login box requiring a username and password!
I have installed SAMBA on the the Mint box, but dont see where to add a username or password?
What do I need to do to enable my Mint shared folder(s) to be accessable on my XP box?
Forgive me if this question belongs in the Networking forum, but I`m afraid asking there might be over this newbies head?
Thanks,
Matt
