Sharing files with Windows laptop

[Rebecca_D]

I have a desktop with PClinuxOS KDE and laptop running Win XP both connected to a wireless modem.

On the desktop using Control Centre>Network Sharing>Access Windows (SMB) shared drives & dirs>Search servers I can see my laptop. On selection it asks for Username, Password and Domain. First 2 are easy peasy, but what would be the Domain?

Any little help is a huge one to me.

Thanks.

you shouldnt be getting those questions in a simple file sharing setup.

You may need to change some settings on your windows side to not require those information.

Are you trying to access a user log in account or just a folder on the computer?

what does this command give you

smbtree -N -d2

I've experienced similar issue when  the windows account doesn't have a password. If there is a password it works fine. How is yours set up?

for the Domain, enter the name of the workgroup windows is using.
