Yay! You saved me a whole bunch of faffing about, just what I needed, who needs to actually read a manual when you've got youtube! :O)

You made my day! :)
Really easy!

thank you

@Cephalus00 You welcome :)

@Dankwansere Thanks for that; exactly what I was looking for. After upgrading my MythBuntu installation I hadn't had a reason to change the network shares for almost a year - only to discover that the GUI utility had vanished. I thought for a while that I was simply going senile, but thanks to your heads-up I noticed the package had been removed (presumably by the upgrade).

is there a way 2 do this in reverse to access windows files on ubuntu?

Great Tutorial there man. You have lots of talent!!

@DonWon1 did you make sure your workgroup is matched betw/ your Ubuntu box and Windows box? (ex: Windows workgroup = WORKGROUP, Linux Samba File workgroup = WORKGROUP). That's how you let Windows see your Ubuntu machine as a workgroup for your network.

@bamitt123 try using sudo command before it

Thank you this tutorial was very helpful.
You can change the workgroup name withing the GUI by downloading and installing the Samba GUI interface. which is called "system-config-samba"

Works fine on karmic & unr karmic. Package system-config-samba (installed using Synaptic) allows changing of Workgroup name using Samba entry on System-Administration menu. Then click Preferences followed by Server Settings to view/change Workgroup
