[Solved] networking to pc, need help setting up a share
im trying to set up a file share, i right click on my user directory, which is mounted on an alternate partition, and i go to sharing, then i set it to share, it asks me for a password, and offers me to ignore as well, but either way, once i enter the root password, or hit ignore, it does nothing. is something broken, or am i missing permissions, or an installation of another module?
i have samba installed, but i didnt change the default config, i might have changed one line, ill have to check tomorrow when im back on the box. i just copied the samba.conf.default to samba.conf.
note, i do have the pc's listed inside the workgroups when navigating through samba in the network file manager.

Perhaps you should start by reading the wiki on samba.

Re: [Solved] networking to pc, need help setting up a share
i have been pouring through documentation in the days past to get this far. i thought i was doing pretty good honestly. how much documentation do i ahve to read? i got it installed. once something is installed, and i click a feature and nothing happens, are you suggesting that i go back to the books? and if so, at what point in your opinion warrants asking for help?
---------------------------------
edit
somehow i got it fixed, wish i could add details
