Re: [orca-list] Extremely Urgent, and I do mean urgent



Did you try following Will's instructions? Ubuntu Hardy can se my Windows share without me having to configure anything on the Ubuntu end.

none of these are working. It won't let me mount, and the other page seems
to be having me pretty much do the same as the first.

My company is requiring me to now be able to access both from Linux ande
from my windows laptop each system through file sharing.  I've tried
everything though.  I did do an apt-get for samba, but question now is
what
next to do. I have read many documentation files online but none of them
seem to make any sinse.  I can't really be specific what doesn't make
sinse
as really the whole ordeal doesn't. Unfortunately, remember: I'm coming
from windows to Linux so, Linux to me still is almost a whole new
language
if you will.  I know a lotta this I should get, and franklyl I gotta
admit,
I'm a little scared of getting the rtfm thing with this msg. Believe you
me
I have read the f***ing manual. It makes no sinse to me. It may as well
be
in greek.  Basicly here is what I'm trying to do precisely.  OK, if
someone
can tell me what do do, step by step, where to go in my pannels, what to
type in a gnome-terminal etc. what file to edit, what lines to find in
the
file and either uncomment or change, just really outline very very
detailed,
I'd be one happy camper as this is gonna drive me mother flippin nuts!

Basicly, I have a 300 gig hard disc, external u s b by the way, which is
connected currently to my Dell Inspiron laptop running xp home.  on this
drive, which has the volume label of "Jukebox," there is a folder with
about
190 gigs of data.  The folder is called ftp.

I also have another folder called "backup" with about 80 gigs of data. I
want to be able, though connected to this machine, to be able to see,
read,
and write to those folders from my Ubuntu desktop machine in the other
room.
This way if I'm out here in the den, I can get to the drive but if I'm in
there I can also do the same.  Again, this could mean me keeping or
losing
my job.  My boss is basicly giving me to the end of today to either fix
this, or to reinstall windows on the desktop and screw Linux. As for why
it's important for me to get to the drive from both system and why that
effects my job, I really due to company polacy cannot go into that part
of
it, more so than to say, I have some private propriatary software we're
beginning to beta test which requires things to be set this way.

Anyway, your extreme prompt help with this is honorably appreciated.

Best and most warmest sincere regards,

Chris.
