My questions are this:
1. Im using ubuntu 12.10 in virtualbox. I want my host machine(Win8) to be able to access a fileshare on the ubuntu server. I also want a laptop on my network to use the fileshare aswell.
I have created users in ubuntu, and then created those users in samba.
The problem that i am running into is that i dont want to use the shared folders in virtual box, i want to share via the network.
I can not seem to find the folder from either my host pc or the laptop.
I think my problem is some things that i have not configured in my smb.conf file.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, i have been trying use the internet but there are a lot of conflicting ideas, and they just dont answer my exact question.
