[Solved] Can't see other machines on ms network
« on: April 24, 2010, 08:23:08 AM »
Honestly, I searched for an earlier post dealing with setting up networking in KDE4 but can't find it.
I have samba set up and running on boot, have set up this machine for networking and it's visible .
The problem is the Windows machine is not showing up.  Didn't have this problem with 3.5.
I noticed in PCC, that nfs-server is not running.  Tried to start it, but will not start (after a long wait).
Not sure if it needs to be running.  Any help will be appreciated.

Hi teddyred,

Couple of suggestions.

Have you started SMB4K?

And have you checked your Firewall?

Holy Moly, menotu.........
Starting Smb4k did the trick.  I don't recall having to start it in 3.5 in order to see the other machine.
Thanks for your help and I'll modify the post to [solved].
