Hi Guys,

Have you setup your Linux machine with Samba? this is the server software that you have to install and configure to make your Linux host participate on a Microsoft based SMB network.

do you know off hand what the sudo apt-get _____ is for Samba?

nevermind, i found it: sudo apt-get install samba

duhh

This might help you out...it's a small blog that I have with instructions for getting some basics and such working with Ubuntu geared more for beginners.
