ok, ran dsl as live cd, downloaded samba.dsl and saved to desktop. went to mydsl, chose load local mydsl extensions and it put samba on the desktop. so i reinstalled it to harddrive, did the same thing, but nothing happens now. what am i doing wrong?

finally realized my problem, i was logged in as root. rebooted as user dsl, downloaded samba.dsl, ran it and all is fine.

ok, new problem. i can see and mount winxp shares from samba, but can't see my linux box from winxp. i can ping the pc's from both ends. i've config'd the smb.conf file right, winxp just aint see'n linux.

ok, fixed that problem. i created a whole new smb.conf file, renamed the original as smb.conf.bak. the new smb.conf file now says this:

#=====Global Settings======
[global]

workgroup = MSHOME
server string = Linux
security = share

#====Share Definitions ==============
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes

# this sets the entire hda1 browsable
[linux]
comment =
path = /
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no

yeah, thats all thats in it. make sure you edit the file as super user. in terminal as super user type "smbd restart &" and "nmbd restart &". now my entire drive in dsl is browsable and writable. the only thing is that the share shows up as Linux (box). which ain't no biggy, at least now i can get to the files on linux.

ssh, sshfs, nfs, samba/smb, ftp, http, any p2p, etc.

There's too many to list

posts like this are not going to help nobody. folks new to linux or DSL come here looking for help. you might suggest an easy way of doing it. like me, i'm fairly new to linux. i had vector linux installed, but could never get my shared printer on an xp box setup. installed dsl and got my printer installed no problem. but now, like RyuOniX, i can't get my shared files on my xp box. probably the easiest way would be to mount the shared drive, but can't seem to get it right.

Well, I'm just suggesting ones that he could use. Anyways, glad that you found a solution that works.

Excuse me if the questions are too stupid. I'm new and being late night I'm quite tired and my brain doesn't work well anymore (did it ever do?).

I've seen the proposal listing ssh, sshfs, nfs, etc and I've tried to investigate.

After googling "mount ssh" and a few other similiar combinations and reading quite a lot or references, all of them where actually describing sshfs. Is there another way to transfer files through ssh without sshfs?

Then I've tried to load the nfs-common daemon in the DSL box and mount a directory into a SUSE machine:

SUSE PC # mount -rw //192.168.0.192/home here

and I've gotten error 111 = Connection refused.

then I tried

SUSE PC # mount -t cifs //192.168.0.192/home here

with the same result. So I look for nfs-related names in ps:

DSL PC # ps -axu

but I don't see anything like nfs so the daemon seems not to load.

I'm connected through ssh (DSL as server, SUSE as console) so ssh is ok. Finally I've checked the DSL release notes and learned that sshfs was introduced later that DSL 1.5 but I've not seen any change related to nfs.

Any ideas? I'd like to avoid samba and ftp if ever feasible, and a web server is not a solution either. I need to write.

Again: I might be missing something obvious, because I'm quite tired.

Thanks in advanced!
