Fun when it works! Supposedly this Linux-Windows networking via Samba can be a real test of one’s patience. But that is the *real* beauty of Linux. It runs great on old discarded hardware, so that if I go apoplectic from frustration and throw the machine out the window, I’m really not set back all that much....
I surprised PCLinuxOS doesn’t auto configure your shares.
Oops! Sorry. I meant to add that I’m equally surprised that Ubuntu (version?) didn’t recognize your wireless card. I’ve not had that happen.
