[LUGSB] question

[Nick Horvath]

Before you try these things you need to make sure samba is installed you go
to the console, become root by typing su (and then entering the password).
Now type apt-get install smbclient and see if it installs it or it was
already there. If it goes and installs it you should try the things you
tried again. I hope you can follow that.

name on the network. *shrug* thanks.
