Networking :: Windows not networking
I can't detect or connect to my winxp compouters?
I can get online through all 3 machines (dsl and 2 windows), but if I do smbtree or smbclient //comp/share or look in samba nothing appears. I have a bit of a wierd setup:
bedroom--
DSL laptop---router port 1
winxp laptop acting as wireless-wired bridge--router WAN port
(wireless connection
Kitchen--
modem---router WAN
wincp comp---router port 1
Any help would be appreciated.
Try this.
Go to a Windows computer and open a command prompt window.
Type:
ipconfig
and write down the computer's IP address.
Then enter this address into smbclient instead of the computer name.
thanks- Now i'm getting into the smb: prompt. Any idea how to set up samba now? I'm hopeless with samba.
Never mind, I got smbmount working, I will re-post here if i need more help.
