[seko512]

still having the update problem
when i try to upgrade the client it says that the server will be removed 
and when trying to update the server it says that it will delete ff3 and nother packages

[seko512]

i have reloaded my synaptic list
after reloading when i marked samba client to upgrade it say that the package failed to download from server
it download only the server package without install it 
that' the bigest software problem in my life plz i  want some help here

did you fully update your system? ( click reload -> mark all upgrade -> apply ) ..did both samba server and client updated too? ..if you are having dependency issues, then i suggest opening up another thread to deal with them as this one deals with networking and dependency conflicts are outside this scope ..

[seko512]

i will update my system today because i can't open pcchttp://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=47567.0
 and i will tell you after updating

[seko512]

glad you got things sorted out ..after 3 pages ..smile..

just to be clear for future references, after you update your system, you can now do normal networking btw pclinuxos and windows vista, right?

[seko512]

yes man 
now i can enter to vista machines  but i havn't try yet aces to my pclinux fro vista machine i will try and tell you.....

[seko512]

after a long away time I'am back again 
i thinked that the problem to access my pclinux is solved but it dosn't
i can't access my pclinux from any windows machine
can i know why please?

[muungwana]

do you have any local folder on your system shareable over the network?

the following thread has some info you might need: http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=6990.0

[seko512]

i have followed your instructions but can't log-in
how i can make anybody to enter without user and pass
the error message that appeares in windows is :
untitled.jpg - 0.09MB

[muungwana]

can you type "smb:/" in konqueror address bar and press enter ..that will bring you to another window that will show a graphical representation of computers on your network ..you should be able to see different workgroups, click the one you have your computer under(mine says mshome) ..and your computer should show up ...clicking on the icon and you will see all folders you have set up to be shared on the network ..

notice that following the above will allow you to see the local folders you have set up to be shared as if you are looking at them from another computer ..if you can access them, then the problem could be on vista's side ...if you cant, then that might mean you havent set them up properly ..

vista can see the machine, it just cant access it and that could mean a permission issue ..make sure the folder you have set up to be shared have reading permission set

i can access all windows computers from pclinux and i can copy files from them
but vista machines can't enter to my pclinux !!!
i will see the permesions and tell you later
thank you

makes me wonder if you have vista or vista pro..
you'll die of old age before the newer home versions hook up like you want to..
my suggestion to get past it.. if a person wanted to bad enough
would be to install a server on that box..  eg.. filezilla  vnc ect..
and they are in your repository here ;-)
but I don't do windows
