BlueWyvern Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Two things 1.) Is it happening both ways? ubuntu trying to access windows and windows trying to access ubuntu? 2.) Do you really need windows on the desktop? If not then since you hate Microsoft, reformat and install ubuntu. Plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, make sire uBuntu is updated on the SMB side of things. To test, open one of your VM's and try logging into them from ubuntu to the vm. If it works there, then you might need to look at the other windows machines settings. If it doesnt work, then ubuntu probably isnt configured properly. Vista and 7 are also a bit funky and locked down a lot more than XP was, so might need to lower security settings in some manner on the windows station to get it to work. The other alternative, is to push files from windows to linux or download them to windows from the linux side if thats what you are trying to do, since its only working in 1 direction for you.

BlueWyvern Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 are you trying to mount a share directory directly? \\computer\share I know I experienced some weird issues where it would not accept any password when I was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
