As I noted earlier this week, I’ve been trying to get a Linux box installed on my network so I can explore interoperability issues between Windows and Linux. I can now report that I have succeeded in installing Ubuntu Linux 6.10 and it seems to be running well. First problem I ran into was that the Vista machine couldn’t access shared resources on the Linux box and vice versa. I had no problem passing files back and forth between the Linux box and one running Windows XP. This post deals with the first problem, connecting to the shared resources on the Linux box. (I’ll tackle the issue of connecting to a Vista share in a follow-up post.)
Of all the challenges of running Linux I’ve come across, sharing files has always been the greatest. So any help is worth reading and sharing
