how to share files with linux, xp and windows7

[simonc]

Can people post links to how to share files with linux (samba) and with xp and other windows7 machines? Been on windows 7 for a full 72 hours, like it so far, there are a few things not familiar with yet.

Hi simonc

well xp>>win 7>>xp shouldn't be a problem. You need to share folders and have the same user id and passwrds. It is a little easier to share win and XP if you are using workgroup instead of "homegroup" . Samba shouldnt be a problem either because it is just accesing the files it doesn't know from win 7 permissions.

How about you give us some more specifics as to what you want to share and with whom.

Thanks'
