file-sharing kubuntu, windows 7 & mac
Hi there,
I'm running Kubuntu on a Dell Inspiron n5110 laptop. We have a WiFi network for Internet access at home, my wife uses a Macbook Pro and the kids have Windows 7 laptops.
For quite some time it has been my dream to share files between these computers using the WiFi network. Every once in a while I get the urge to work on the problem and I start searching the net for suggestions - and there are many: most of them confusing and conflicting. A common thread seems to be SAMBA though - everybody describes it as the best thing sliced bread, and according to most setting up is as easy as making a sandwich!
I've been using one version of linux or another for the last 20 years or so - therefore, I don't consider myself a complete novice, but SAMBA is like black magic to me! It seemed to work very well when we had a wired network, but since the introduction of WiFi I just can't get it to work at all!
Would somebody please point me to a COMPREHENSIVE (perhaps even a "for Dummies") tutorial on how to get file-sharing to work between Kubuntu, Mac & Windows 7 machines?
Regards
Hagen
