Hi everyone,
My installation on beta2 went just fine. But now I cant seem to access my shares on my workgroup, composed of windows xp machines. My computer is on the right workgroup and has a unique name.
I can see all of my computers on the workgroup, but cant see their shares!
Please help. I dont have any fancy type configuration, just some windows xp machines and a shared printer.

Workgroup shares problem - Can see computers but cant access
Hallo Adam
I had the same problem and was able to install the shared disks using directly the "\\PC-Name\sharename" option. The drives are visible after that. The problem with no non-visible systems also happens from time to time on my network and disparears again (no logic there!)
But I could find no way to install the shared printers -- Michel Fiaux fug ag CH-8704 Herrliberg

Not sure if this will help, as I flailed with network settings. In the Network Center, I have my network set to private and discovery and sharing set to permit all computers on the network. I can see the shares of the XP machines on the LAN. SOmetimes when opening the network, I have to refresh it once to see all the PCs.
