1 Hi,
2
3 I have a little network here. We have a cable modem that connects to a
4 Linksys router then we have two computers that hook to it and share the
5 internet. I have my Gentoo Linux box that I just installed samba on.
6 She has a Windoze XP box. I think I have my samba set up, not real sure
7 though, but I can not figure out the windoze box. I can ping the IP
8 address of her windoze box from my Linux box, no clue on how to do that
9 on her windoze box so I assume it can see my box too.
10
11 Can someone hold my hand and get this so I can get this to work? She
12 seems to get hers pretty buggy and not boot and I just want to set it up
13 so that she can drop her Documents folder on my system each night for a
14 back-up. Sorry windoze, you suck. LOL
15
16 Oh, the router uses DHCP so how do I let it figure out what the address
17 is? In case you can not tell, this is all new to me. Here is the
18 testparm thing, I did read what I could understand at least:

76 What I am trying to share is /mnt/data/. Not sure what that other stuff is.
77
78 Oh, if this will work in IE, that would be a HUGE plus. She still uses
79 that thing. < pukes > I'm also not sure what to type into IE to get to
80 my box either.
81
82 Thanks for any help you can provide. I was following a how to but I
83 think I got lost, hopefully just on the windoze part.
