How to share my internet conection and printers?

Postby abcmario » Tue Oct 23, 2007 3:16 pm

Well.... nice! First of all, Congratulations for Ultimate, It is a awesome good job!

I am new in the linux world so.. I would like to know how to configure Ubuntu for sharing my internet connection with other computers running Windows, and sharing my printers and folders too.

Can you help me please?

Regards.
Mario.

Fairly straight forward on the internet connection sharing:
Vista: right-click on computer icon in taskbar (networking) > nework & sharing center> click on down arrow next to "printer sharing" and tick "turn on printer sharing" > click on down arrow next to " Network discovery" and tick "turn on network discovery" that should do it.
XP: My Network Places> View Network connections> right click "Local Area Connection"> Properties> tick all things in list in window> Advanced tab> Firewall settings> exceptions tab> tick File & Printer Sharing> tick UPnp Framework

You might have to set up your router, let me know what kind of router you have and I could try and help you out on that as well if you don't get automattically setup with a connection after the instructions above.

As for setting up folder sharing you will need to set up samba shares and users in samba and both OS's. I would like to be able to give you a straight instruction on how to do this as well, but I had a difficult time with it, and I would not be the correct person to get info from :( Sorry. Just do some googleing and you should be able to get tons of info on it. I will try to set up a how-to on this when I get some time (not googleing, samba :lol: ).

Here's a starting point with samba: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605
I never did get everything dialed in with Vista and Ubuntu networking, except internet and printer sharing :cry:
