I'm now asked to set up a larger LAN in a school computer laboratory, consisting of 30+ Windows 7 machines, several printers and scanners, and two Linux workstations. I expect that homegroups would be the easiest way to set up the Windows systems for file and device sh...

...ot of my users are not very experienced they're mostly windows users and they expect things to more or less configure themselves. If they have to configure stuff their first option is generally to complain and ask why I can't simply do it for them. My next question has to do with this "homegroup" stuff. I don't know much about windows but this seems to be a different sharing system, not cifs, and windows specific. Can samba take advantage of these or should I just disable the home group stuff on all the windows computers I want to connect with? My last question has to do with what...

Hello, I HAVE sniffed the network traffic for this w2k client and provided the link via paste.ubuntu.com, so everybody can look inside that without the need of extra-tools like wireshark. And as I realized you have looked into that sniffed result output. I did it this way, because I work on an isolated test env which I cannot access through my computers and do file transfers. And I dont

This is probably an easy one. I have just setup Samba on my Debian 2.0 system with kernel 2.0.34. It was extremely easy set up, great job Samba and Debian people.
