First, to successfully set Samba to be the machine that runs Linux to have a static IP. Otherwise, you can not use WINS ...

Install Samba:

# Sudo apt-get install samba

After installation, you must make sure that Samba is not running:

# Sudo / etc / init.d / samba stop

smb.conf is the configuration file of Samba. We rename this file in the following:

# Sudo mv / etc / samba / smb.conf / etc / samba / smb.conf.template

The following command will create a new file:

# Sudo touch / etc / samba / smb.conf

Then we edit the new file in your favorite editor:

# Sudo gedit / etc / samba / smb.conf

So that would be put in the new file:

If you have static IP or use a different IP Dimana reasons, the above option should be set to "no" instead of "yes".

[MyFiles] is the share name ului.Poate be renamed anyway, but should be avoided spaces (as well as for the other names).

path = / media / samba / Suppose this path is a mounted hard drive or another partition, and is where files are saved share look.

If not available another hard drive or another partition, you can create a Home folder for example, where you can share your files look:

# Sudo mkdir / home / samba

In this case, the path will be:

# Path = / home / samba /

Because / home / samba will be a folder where you have to write more world, we will grant the correct permissions:

# Sudo chmod 0777 / home / samba

About this would be setting must pormin service now:

# Sudo / etc / init.d / samba start

Longer need to add users, but this time viitoare.Samba is an open source, which allows Unix-based operating systems to "see" the network with Windows PCs. Samba is actually implementing several protocols in one software able to communicate simultaneously with these protocols: SMB, TCP / IP, NetBIOS (protocol implemented in Windows Network Neighborhood), WINS and Active Directory (this should be set for Kerberos).
