If you do get the Ubuntu sharing sorted I would be interested to know how you did it.<br>
<br>
It takes me minutes on PCLOS but I gave up on Ubuntu after hours of thinking I had got there and finding no, it didn't work.<br>
It seemed to have something to do with not being able to assign a name to the host and joinging my windows workgroup.<br>
