Networking Windows with Linux
« on: April 01, 2008, 04:29:18 PM »
I have three computers networked together, A Windows Vista system, a win 2000 system, and a dual boot system with win XP SP2, and Edubuntu 7.10.  When they are all in windows they talk to each other without a problem.  However, I am having trouble getting the computers to talk when Linux is in the mix.  Both Vista and Win 2000 show the Linux computer in the network view, but when I click on the icon, neither one will allow me to connect.  (I get a "no network connection" error message).  The Linux machine can see and access the Vista machine, (including being able to use the attached printer) however, it can only see, but not access the Win 2000 computer.  It keeps asking me to log in, (I have the log in disabled on it, but it still wants  a password.)  The computers are connected via a D-Link DI-604 router.

I get the same result whether or not the firewalls are enabled.
