Hi, Robert:<br><br>Congratulations on setting up Ubuntu, and welcome to the list!  Yes, Samba will allow your windows machines to see files shared from your Ubuntu machine.  You can find more about setting up Samba in Ubuntu at the Ubuntu wiki:<br> <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba</a><br><br>And if you run into any snags, I'd bet some of us here on the list could help you.  <br> <br>It looks like you're in Rapid City -- you might have a look at <a href="http://bhlug.org/" target="_blank">bhlug.org</a>.  You may be able to find some local geeks who could give you a hand too.<br> <br>-Doug<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 10:09 PM, Robert <<a href="mailto:robertg@rushmore.com">robertg@rushmore.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div style="padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 15px;" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Compose message area"> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">I am new to Ubuntu and have added an Ubuntu machine to my home network.  Anybody know how to make Ubuntu talk to Windows?  Does Samba work?</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">Thanks in advance</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">Robert Goulding</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">Rapid City</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">348-7799</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial">390-9875</font></div> <div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div></div> <br>--<br> Ubuntu-us-sd mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-sd@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-sd@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-sd" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-sd</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br>
