Ok, I've changed that file to match the name of the network with the xp
machines. I tried to set up a shared file, and got a message that
windows share service needs to be installed. It offered to install, so
I installed the service. Guess what package it installed......Samba.
So now I have a shared folder. But when I double click on windows
network, I get a message: Unable to mount location, Failed to retrieve
share list from server. The windows machines cannot see the ubuntu
machine either. What do I do next?
