Setting samba

[while true]

ola,

I have two laptops, and when my girlfriend is wisiting, there is also hers laptop.
I want to be anle to shape folders betwen those laptops.
On HP I have ubuntu, on dell I have gentoo, and girlfriend's is m$ xp.

here is my samba, that I emerged:

[cwr]

The configuration file smb.conf (I think it's in /etc/samba) tells samba what
directories it can export. There are plenty of examples in the default configuration
file; I tend to have everything in eg: /home/public owned by the guest user,
and exported to the local network. Then you can put the requisite logon stuff
in the client's /etc/fstab, and simply use "mount /home/remote" on the client
machine, and have eg: /home/public on the machine remote mounted on the
client.

One trap may be the need for the mount.cifs command; I'm not sure which
package it's in these days, but it used to be separate from samba as a whole.

Ola will,

I am messing around with samba for quite some time no,...
I managed to make share following gentoo instructions, and I was able to view shared folder on two other computers on local network.
One ubintu, which showed me only shared folder, and the other computer, m$ xp, showed me my shared folder, BUT (!!!) also my whole home directory!!! This is something I do not want...

anyway, if I reboot my gentoo computer, these shares are no longer visible, and I do not know what to do now.

I also want to use others shared folders, from their computer, but Thunar is not giving me access to see network neighbourhood...
I can see and access this using Nautilus.

I would prefer nautilus over thunar, but nautilus does not have compress/decompress options, which thunar have.

None of them however, do not have share option...


Underline, I would like to have my filemanager to have 'compress/decompress' option, as well 'share this folder' option on right mouse click.

But I can not make samba to work on neither of them...
