In summary: I think its like mount -t smbfs -o username=uname,pass=password //server/shareincasesensitive /directory/tomountitif you don't do the whole -o thing then it will just say Password? .. if there isn't a pass just hit enter.

You're going to have to get the exact message.

Did you create the new user on the command line or using the kde tool?

open up a terminal and go to /etc and open the hosts file up using your favorite terminal editor. then add the line

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain

if that is already there, open up another terminal and type ifconfig and then write down your computer's IP address.

then on the next open line in the hosts file, put:

<ipaddress> localhost.localdomain

Thank you, thank you...so so much, I have another problem

Do you know why computer A can ping computer B but computer B can't ping computer A ? Firewalls on or off in this local cable sharing are not a problem. Just now that I can't do things like setting up [\\computerAName\ASharedFolder] from computer B's sharing widzard anymore. How can i fix this problem ? Thanks

There can be a lot of reasons. For instance, you can set computer B up to not respond to pings, so it simply just devours the packets , but yes I think you're sort of thinking the right thing. To mount a shared drive on linux I always use mount from the terminal, if you do ~# smbmount then it will come up with the info needed to use mount and to specify samba and all that , I tend to do everything from the terminal that I can before turning to wizards / tools , just because it tends to have more stable results.

you can also do
# man mount
I think its like mount -t smbfs -o username=uname,pass=password //computerinlowercase/shareincasesensitive /directory/tomountit

if you don't do the whole -o thing then it will just say Password? .. if there isn't a pass just hit enter
