Interesting...
Since the beginning of my Linux use I had built a long list of things I do before usage...
This is my TODO on networking...
Linuxsmb: Networking
[ Y ] Check/Install ~ SAMBA GUI & Network Stuff
> $ sudo apt-get install system-config-samba cifs-utils libnss-winbind winbind gvfs-backends
[ Y ] Open Linux Lite Help - Network Setup
[ Y ] Add "HOMENET" Workgroup, Samba Config file
[ Y ] Add "Resolver" order & "Master Browser" items below netbios name:
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
local master = no
[ Y ] Re-start Networking
[ Y ] gksu leafpad /etc/nsswitch.conf
Then change the line:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
To this:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns
Then re-boot
[ Y ] Use SAMBA Gui, set up the /Public" to "PubShare" To be visible on other PC's.
Change Share Settings with SAMBA GUI Tool
