system info:
AMD Athlon ™ 64 Processor 3300+
OS: SUSE 12.2 / 64-bit
Gnome version 3.4.2
I am having issues with file sharing on my in-home network…
win7ult system01 can see my suse box, but not access files
win7 laptop02 dont see my suse box at all
Win vista system03 can see my suse box but not access files…
my Suse box can see windows networks open it see workgroup,
but not open it to see the other systems listed in the workgroup.
all the other systems see and exchange files flawlessly.
well, I switched to the KDE interface and did some more tweeking in swat…
i can see the win7ult01 box
& the vista box
but not the win7 laptop…
I think there is a setting to konfigure in the laptop…

Is your “win7 laptop” in the same Workgroup? Did you configure it as shown in
the HowTo from my previous post? As two out of three Windows boxes are visible
this is more likely a misconfiguration of the laptop.

I need to get into the laptop and muck around and adjust all the settings,
however,
if i get the chance,
it will be under the ever-watchful eye of my lady-friend,
who will,
in turn,
go back and undo everything i set up on propose
“for security”…
she’s got a power on password set in the bios of the **** thing so I cant even turn it on…

You should be able to make all the settings on the laptop from a user in the
Administrative group. There should be no reason to access the bios.

Oh I know…
but she has a “power on password”
that is SET in the bios
and a windows user password
b4 i can get into the windows network settings…
she’s over consumed with security…

Clearly you need to start by getting the equipment owner’s permission to
make the necessary changes.
personally, i doubt a Windows user can be “over consumed with
security”…most i know remain insecure no matter how watchful,
‘consumed’ by or ‘invested’ in expensive third party ‘security’ software
they are.
