um yes, I know this! when the heck did I say it stood for C:???

of course it doesnt, it's just the share name!

That is where most people make the mistake...

relax lol :P

no hard feelings barf, accually I should thank you since I never made it clear in my earlier post that C was the share name

samba.xml

Code:

<shares>


	<share>
		<name>network (samba)</name>
		<path>smb://SAMBA/C/</path>
	</share>

</shares>

______________________________________________________________

network (samba) = label that will appear in the myps2 browser

smb://SAMBA/ = computer name* (changable) or computers IP address

C/ = share name of the folder on the network (changable)

*=not workgroup (side note on workgroup it is changeable in both myps2 and windows)

lmhosts

Code:

127.0.0.1      localhost = loop ip address 
192.168.1.1    router = default gateway address
192.168.1.100  SAMBA = computer IP/computer name (changable)
192.168.1.110  PS2 = PS2 IP address

make sure that you set the proper promissions on any firewalls you may have installed this includes the Windows XP firewall if enabled. there is no username or password.

I hope this comes to some use in further helping others make use of the networking capabilities of myps2.

Please help me defining the Workgroup , as i find no mention of it anywhere, and myps2 keeps on saying "parsing 0 shares from .xml file then i get that GUI error ...

(Updated). The content of docs folder was empty, and my ps2 was not connected to my lan. now everything works, except the Share, but i'll figure it out, thanks ;-)

Something is not 100% in your config, I had that same problem,
however I only remember correcting the config file...

To see which problems I had in the beginning please look at my first post in this thread.

Hello,

My other LAN computers does not see my Computer after I disabled the "NetBios over TCP IP" in the Wins.

Ok, MyPS2 can see the shares, but not my other computer ..

Do you have any workaround for being able to use Samba AND Workgroup browsing from other computers ?

I am thinking about creating a hosts entry for each computer, but their ip is dynamic ..

Any help would be appreciated.

hello all

wondering if anyone can help, ive followed the instructions and have my config.dat altered, it runs through the checks fine then i get a screen up to create a myps2 partition.
the problem is i assume there should be a yes or no option but it isnt displayed and pressing any button doesnt do anything.

if it makes any difference i am running launchelf 3.70 from dev1 dms3 to boot off of the hdd partition +APPZ/MYPS2/

many thanks

Hi,

When i load up MyPS2 everything is OK until it asks for me to create a new partition. Problem lies in that I cannot select Yes/OK or what ever it is as I cant see it

any suggestions?
