hi

i have got my gentoo and winxp (sharing internet) network going.

i can ping both computers with each over, with hostname and ip address.

but when i try to connect to my winxp comp, it says it cant connect i use the command smb://192.168.0.1, i install samba and my winxp comp finds my gentoo comp, but it only has printers and fax folder, not home dir.

any ideas?

have you set up everything right on your gentoo comp?

and don't forget the nameserver

/etc/resolv.conf

Do you have 2 network cards on your Xp comp?

If you are using gnome don't forget to emerge gnome-vfs-extras. Sounds like that is your problem (you can connect through the CL)

Or if you use a smaller WM, such as fluxbox, you can try things like LinNeighborhood
