Public bug reported:
i dont know why this has happened (wasnt a problem a month ago)
basically i have 4 pc's on our home network, 2 run xp, and 2 run ubuntu
(hardy) one of the ubuntu boxes is basically a file server (or network
storage device, if you prefer) i have set up networking (using samba,
since switching to linux ive used samba, with little or no trouble) but
i have no write access to the shared folders on the xp systems.
i have changed all the permissions on the xp system, but it still wont allow
access, i have tried many methods to no avail, so i thought id report it as a
bug (although im not sure its a ubuntu bug)
i have no idea as to why networking between os's should be so difficult all of
a sudden, especially when all ive had to do in the past is basically select (or
create) a folder for sharing, i would then be prompted to install some things
(required for networking) after that i would just run the network set up wizard
on the xp systems (with no changing of permissions or anything else) then i
would run these 2 commands in a terminal - sudo smbpasswd -a user name and then
follow the prompts (just selecting pass words and such) then i would run sudo
smbpasswd -e username and that would be it.
but now people have been saying that the smb.config files neede adjusting and
loads of other stuff (all of which i have tried and had no luck)
im running ubuntu (hardy heron) there are 2 xp based systems (both pretty much
the same configuration, and all up to date) the other ubuntu box is also
running hardy, all the systems are connected to a 4 port router (we use this to
share the internet connection, and for networking)
as ive mentioned networking was very easy until now.
