i dont have a vista machine so i cant test this ..there seem to be a problem with samba not connecting to vista machines like the above link shows ..but i am sure there is atleast one person here on the forum who is using vista and pclinuxos and is able to share files btw them ..

..can i suggest changing the title to something like "file sharing btw vista and pclinuxos" to catch these people's attention?

Since you have stated that you can connect to XP machines, this clearly seems to be a Vista problem. I don't have Vista, either, but if I was running it, I would be paying very close attention the the network settings on the Vista machine, including any firewall stuff.

any other solution!!

today i have insatlled ubntu on another PC in the network
it is able to acess any PC in the network without any configyrations even it acess at my pclinux
why is that??

[muungwana]

it can even access a the vista machine you couldnt access with pclinuxos? ..interesting ..what version of samba are they using? ..

you know the forum is mainly a bunch of people like you who help other people out .. since you are a part of the community, can you investigate and see whats going on? ..i mean, whats the better way to know linux than to actually solve problems ...

[seko512]

ok
i know that you can see that i'am trying to help many users here as i can
thank you

[muungwana]

there is a new samba update ..can you update your system and then try to connect to the vista machine again?

[seko512]

i will update and tell you
thnak's for remember me 

[seko512]

another question :
after updating i will lose all my settings in samba???

[muungwana]

no, you wont .. have you ever lost your settings when you update? it shouldnt happen ...

just to be sure, restart your system first after you update

[muungwana]

you are correct, you shouldnt update until those dependencies are met ..i dont know why you getting those missing dependencies ..people had the first one(including me) but the problem is already solved ..you can look at this thread to see how it was solved http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=47230.0

did you click reload before you attempted to update?
