thanks for the reply .. i finally found a way which works like a charm ..found it in ubuntu forum (used the whole morning)

for users which uses vmware player with lunix Feisty here's a nice guide to share ur files from ur linux :


Linux with samba guide

its easy and fast ...

how to get the file from linux os to win os?
i tried WinSCP but cannot. It refered to the guide

http://www.tanguay.info/web/tutorial.php?i...ndowsWithWinSCP

Is there any other way?

That is the tough one with the commands, this is more simple Here one but i cant see Lackner or anything that has to be there (Step 3)

i cannot set for port forwarding..it is due to my modem, it does not recognize virtual machine as ip...
i will lowered down everything. Will let u know the outcome...
TQ

If you followed the guide correctly, it should work

I tried it and it works for me

U can try either my way which u just follow EVERYTHING and u will be able to share ur files, or ur 2nd option is use tanguay's samba


i tried tanguay's way of his samba but i cant login to my system .. i wonder y .
About the WinScp becoz i am using vmware player it seems i cant mount the image.

anyone have any good solution for this?
I will try the samba later..

hmm ... u r not using a router rite?. normally if u can online then sure got a LAN ip d. i am using bridged mode and i din set my static in linux .. i am just using the given LAN ip and port forward that.. works for me ... try and test it ...

I have no clue how to make Samba work... I switched to VMware Workstation because of VMware player limited ability

is you ip start something like 192.168.139.x? My dhcp was 192.168.100.x. My router cannot recognise the virtual machine.

set static ip.

can anyone guide me how to do that?

UNUSUAL where is ur location, my download speed is very slow.

Kota Damansara. IP range forever assigned @ 60.xx

I try SAMBA before (it is just a driver to enable linux to browse windows share). While a good solution but it is very slow to transfer large files over network. Although VMWare and Windows is local, somehow the traffic have to go through the NIC that is slowing down the speed. Try to transfer a 4gig file and you will know the pain.

I found out the best solution is to use a physical partition with ext3 formatted and installed IFSDrive (doesn't work in Vista) in your Windows to read linux partition is the easiest and fastest way to share the files. You can use your Linux to donwload to that partition and then use your windows to read the ext3 drive directly. No need to transfer in/out between 2 OS.

Since Samba is that slow, i might give it a try for the alternate method. Got any guides for ext3 and IFSDrive method ?

Hi guys, I am a newbie on using torrent to download stuff, and I know that using 'original' way will take few days to download 100mb software or movie.

Can your your expert give me a simple guide or your blog to visit that I can follow the setting or anything that need to do? What I read from here is:

1. Get ubuntu torrent(where?)
2. Dont know what suppose to do.

Please help, 3kb per seconds is TOOOOO slow.

I OS is Window XP professional. P4-3.0ghz.
