Linux/Windows/Mac on a wireless network

[bully]

How do i get em to talk?

My windows pc doesnt see my Linux machine on my wireless network.

When i look at my network places it doesnt see anything.

I want to drag files etc between the 2, is it possible?

Mrs has a mac and that cant see the other 2 either.

Install Samba on the Linux box.
Enable Windows File Sharing on the Mac (If OSX)
Standard sharing on Windows.

OSX can access SMB shares no problem, as can Linux.. so the Linux box and OSX box can definetly access the Windows PC no probs..

Your question has been asked a billion times. Bang in your PC or wireless card and you'll probably be able to find a good howto quickly.

My wireless worked out of the box.

Good luck!

My wireless netwrok works fine to the net etc, its just the other comps around the network Mells.

Bloody Linux ;-)

KDF there is nothing funny about Windows.

I had the same problem with my Ubuntu setup and my NAS drive.

See this for samba it seems to work for many, but not me :-(

And it's certainly not big and definately not clever!

Never had a problem with mac seeing a PC or vice-versa. Double check your settings, if all else fails, try using the finder connect and typing:

smb://X.X.X.X

where X.X.X.X is the ip address of the machine you want to browse.
