Ok I have read a few post about this issue but have been unable to find a strait up way of doing it..
So let assume you have DSL running from Hard Drive.
Networking working just fine "Able to connect to the internet"
You use myDSL to download Samba and have it installed.

Now what have to be done to access DSL Shares with WindowsXP
DSL Config
IP=192.168.0.5
Sub=255.255.255.0
DNS/Gateway=192.168.0.1
And keep the Workgroup = Workgroup

Scripts ?, smb.conf ? , etc...

Would someone care to point me in the right direction , or
supply all the needed files and howto here or you can E-Mail it
to me.. I would be more then glad to take bits and pieces and make a FULL screenshot how to manual.....

Please help would be great to have as a storage sever.. just a place to dump all the stuff i D/L

Thanks for any help that anyone can give ;)
Peace

Wondering: what is the password for the DSL account so I don't need to make a share folder?

the DSL password is whatever you make it..

" sudo passwd dsl "

follow the prompts..

Well i got the whole FTP to work but i was looking for more along the lines of being able to go to My Network Places and see DSL as part of the Workgroup...

This is how you can move files between DSL and a Windows computer:

If you wish to use your DSL machine as a Windows server, try searching for information on how to use SAMBA.

There is a little info here on the forums, but your best bet might be to visit the samba website or try a google search.

The samba myDSL extension is no different than any other samba installation, so the instructions should be valid, too.
