ok since it seems nobody can help with this http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/193000-lvf-player-for-linux-or-at-least-for-ubuntu/ figured out if there's a way i can easily set up ubuntu to share files on my network so i can playback the files on my win 7 machine, so how do i do this

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

i use to have the second best link in the world here, but it died ;_; its a 404 now but it will always be here

Open a Terminal.

apt-get install cifs-utils

 

After that, found a directory you want to share. For me its /mnt/shares/share1/ so,

 

mount.cifs //192.168.1.107/share1/ /mnt/shares/share1/

 

If you want example /mnt/share/ only, it would be.

 

mount.cifs //192.168.1.107/share1/ /mnt/shares/

 

On the Windows PC, open up "Network" in My Computer, and see if it shows up. If it doesnt, just open a browser and type

 

­­192.168.1.107/share1

 

You SHOULD be able to access your files from there.

NOTE: The IP adress varies based on your PC's IP adress on the network,

Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad T61 Widescreen 15.4" 1680x1050
Intel Core2Duo T8300 2.4GHz | 3GB DDR2 from Hynix | SATA II Patched bios (Middleton) | Samsung EVO 850
