Thread: Some Windows machines can't access Samba share

-

hi everyone,

have media centre running ubuntu 10.4 files on portable hard drive i'm trying share on network using samba.

set , seemed work fine, own laptop can find ubuntu machine on network, , access shared folders.

when other people try access using windows laptops doesn't work. when click on network can find computer, , can see shared folders. when try open 1 of shared folders error:

"network error
windows cannot access \\computername\sharename

check spelling of name. otherwise, there might problem netowrk. try identify , resolve network problems, click diagnose."

diagnose predictably unhelpful.

oddly can access shared folder that's on hard drive ubuntu on, not shared folders on portable hard drive.

ideas problem here? why work 1 laptop , not others? there files should post here figure out problem is?

in advance of guys.

bob

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
