I am trying to create a shared folder.

Installed Samba (as I have done on plenty of occasions for other releases) create the shared folder, all the appropriate privileges, etc, all with no problem.

However, I cannot see the shared folder on any other PC on my local network. The other PC's are Ubuntu 10.10 and a WinXP.

Is there a hidden file I have to alter? I have checked the Samba config and that seems all ok.

I do rely on a GUI, but I have a little terminal knowledge and checked what I can.

The strange thing is that the Ubuntu 11.10 PC can see a storage server running Ubuntu 10.04, but cannot see a shared folder on a PC running 10.10.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, is 32bit less buggy?

Thanks

Not sure why but after some updates the issue has been resolved. The 64bit, has proven to be very stable and networking fine. – pst007x Oct 27 '11 at 23:14
