hey all I am trying to get my pppoe working on my desktop computer, everytime I unlock the network settings, and check the pppoe option, as fast as I select pppoe, it unchecks the box. here is the output from lspci relating to my ethernet controller: glenn(a)glenn ~$lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8071 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 16) Now I can see my other computers but I cant access them, althought I can ping them. Why can't I set up pppoe? Any help appreciated. Glenn

When you say "you cannot access them", what do you mean? And why are you trying to set up pppoe? pppoe is an method of connecting to the internet, and last time we talked you were using dialup, which doesn't need pppoe. IF all you want to do is to share files between machines, then you need to enable file sharing on both of them. On your windows machine, you'll need to share a directory out (right click on it in explorer, select "sharing", follow the prompts), and on linux you'll need to install samba.

... and configure sharing. In Ubuntu 8.10, it seems this is also as easy as find the directory you want to share in Nautilus, right clicking on it, and selecting "Sharing Options", and following the prompts. You said you were using Hardy, it may not be the same there, I can't easily check at the moment.

It's the same in Hardy. -- This email is for the intended recipient only. If you are not the intended recipient you must burn your computer, while standing on one foot and chanting the entire jabberwocky. The opinions expressed here are not necessarily the opinions of the person who expressed them.

Just to clarify; in Hardy (and presumably Intrepid) it's almost exactly the same process as in windows. Find the folder you want to share, right-click on it and select 'sharing options'. You do not even need to install or configure samba in advance, if you don't already have it you'll be prompted for your password and samba will be installed and configured "automagically" for you.
