Good morning all,<br>
Another knotty problem. For reasons I won't bore you with I've switched from Mandriva/PCLOS to Linux Mint for both my home network (2 PCs wired through a router).<br>
<br>
I've never used Microsoft networking and samba before (previously nfs) so I'm way outa my depth here as that's all the networking on offer it seems.<br>
<br>
When ever I try and 'see' files on the MAIN machine (I have 'shared' them) from the BACKUP machine I get a password demand. As this is a ubuntu derivative there is only the one password for me and that doesn't work.<br>
<br>
How do I find out what password it requires?<br>
<br>
I'm sure this is a trivial problem, but only for those who 'just know'. And I don't.<br>
<br>
Any ideas would be welcome.<br>
<br>
