I am trying to share a public folder and share my printer to my laptop (Windows XP Home. Name: notebook, workgroup: WORKGROUP)
Although I can see "mint-desktop" as network node on my windows laptop, whenever I try to open it I get a "cannot connect to \\Mint-desktop... etc" message.
I, also, cannot print.
Code: Select all
chris@mint-desktop ~ $ smbtree
Enter chris's password:
