What kind of router do you have? Is it a newer router with a USB port?

Samba works well for a lot of people. We need to know more about his setup before we make that decision though.

How comfortable are you with Linux?
Setting up your file share on the Linux box would probably be more stable and perform better - you could use Samba for Windows compatibility. However, setting up a file share on the Windows box is just a couple of check marks. The Linux box should be able to see a CIFS/SMB share just fine but Windows workstation OS doesn't always make the best file share. |

On your Linux box, open the drive like you did and when it prompts you for a username and password, type in your WINDOWS username and password (the one you use to login to the Windows machine) rather than the login you use on the Linux box itself. |

Follow the instructions here: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/conten...Id-397922.html Setup a unique user on that shared folder called "linux" or something similar and then try it again. Windows can be kind of wonky. |
