MarkJohnson Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 and setup my rig for folding. I have FahMon setup on my Windows 7 rig to monitor my folding. Since I switched from Ubuntu 8.04 to 9.04, windows 7 no longer monitors through the windows network. I set it up just fine, but when I try to open the Ubuntu folder, it keeps asking for a network password for my windows 7 rig? Very strange, why does windows need me to enter a password for itself and not the Ubuntu machine?Here my steps more clearly.I go to Computer and select NetworkI select my Ubuntu rig so i can open the folding folder to monitor.Windows 7 pops up a Windows Security windowThe window says:Enter Network PasswordEnter your network password to access: MARK-X58MARK-DFI\mark[ ][] remember my credentialsMy password is the same for both machines and it refuses it. I even double checked both machines to make sure passwords were correct.Is there something special I need to do on Windows 7? I find it strange it was working before and not now.Thanks for any help-=Mark=-ps, my MARK-DFI is my Windows 7 rig and Mark-X58 is my Ubuntu 9.04 rig.

MarkJohnson Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Sorry, I got it figured out. I forgot to setup Samba completely. Just ran smbpasswd -L -a my_username and all is well.-=Mark=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
