Anyone else with an idea?
Post a link to this thread in the Ubuntu threads and one of the Ubuntu Gurus will give you a hand with the Ubuntu part.
I think WindowsStar was suggesting that because Linux users have quite often gone to Linux from originally using Windows, and so they seem to have more experience and knowledge with networking the two OSes than most.. And definitely more than people who only use Windows.
Well, that's my theory anyway..
The thing I used to file share between windows 7 and ubuntu was: Samba
Samba - opening windows to a wider world
Maybe they can help you out here.
I created a share on my Windows 7 machine and said share with Everyone (read and write permissions).
From the Ubuntu 10.04 box, I went to Places, Connect to server, and put in Windows Share and the hostname of my Windows 7 box. It prompted me for my username and password...which I supplied for my network and it worked just fine and showed my shares.
