installed 7.2 OK and have internet access.

However, I can't seem to have access to my network thru a wired connection.

I did find this thread by eriefisher

====================================


However after installing what was required, I can't figure out how to have access.

On another note, my Ubuntu 8.04 system can see the antiX system ...

Is there an app or another window manager that would get it working or
is there something I missed ?

If you have all the packages and set up the folders it probably just your smb.conf. Post it and we can have a look.

It's the 3rd fresh install I do since I came back from work ...

After modding the startup file, I could not login anymore.

Next, open /home/username/.fluxbox/startup file. At the end of the list of autostarted applications add:

fusesmb /home/me/network (or the location of the folder you created)

Can you advise where and how exactly to type this in ?
I found the file no problems but not sure how to add it.

Here is a section of mine. Adjust the info to reflect you.
Notice I added a line so I am properly greeted when I log in.

I forgot to add that you must restart for it to work otherwise the command will not be given to mount.

OK ... I added the text to my startup file and rebooted.

If I go into the network dir I created it is empty.

The permissions for the network dir are set at a+x (make executable/searchable)
Recurse, Brief and Quiet are not checked.
Is this OK ?

I think your /etc/samba/smb.conf may not be right. Please post it for a look.

Her is where yours and mine differ:
I would also change"security = user" to"security = share" which is near the top.

For file permissions, right click on the folder in question in rox and select"properties" and check off the correct boxes. If your still have problems and you say your Ubuntu smb.conf is working use/copy the one from it to try. Back up the one you have first.

As I no longer have ubuntu installed, it can't be done.

I did try to install Nautilus and got it working yesterday but it changed the wallpaper and the system was louder with all fans running faster ... so I did a reinstall and started from scratch again.

Is there such a thing as a lite file manager that has networking out of the box ?

The only two file managers I know will do this is Nautilus and Konqueror. Both will bring a lot of baggage with them.

I know fusesmb works well as I use it on three boxes. All the boxes can read/write to each other as well as an XP box I have here.

The latest version of PCmanFM has Samba, SSH & ftp support. It's still in experimental stage, but it's a step in the right direction. Check out

on the Ubuntu Forums. I really love PCmanFM (as much as i love Thunar) so i'm really thrilled about this. I hope they continue to develop & improve. __{{emoticon}}__

Does he have a deb for this version, if not where is the source. All i can see is version 0.4.1. I have version 0.3.6.2 install via apt. This looks great.

Its in unstable
pcmanfm 0.4.1.1-1

and I get an error..

GTK+ icon theme is not properly set

This usually means you don't have an XSETTINGS manager running. Desktop environment like GNOME or XFCE automatically execute their XSETTING managers like gnome-settings-daemon or xfce-mcs-manager.

If you don't use these desktop environments, you have two choices:
1. run an XSETTINGS manager, or
2. simply specify an icon theme in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.
For example to use the Tango icon theme add a line:
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango" in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0. (create it if no such file)

NOTICE: The icon theme you choose should be compatible with GNOME, or the file icons cannot be displayed correctly. Due to the differences in icon naming of GNOME and KDE, KDE themes cannot be used. Currently there is no standard for this, but it will be solved by freedesktop.org in the future.

but it seems to work.

eriefisher - You can get it, and all the other LXDE stuff,

.

xToeCutter - that error can be eliminated by getting the"lxappearance" app from the same link above, then installing & running, and selecting the gtk theme and icons that you desire. Simple as that. __{{emoticon}}__

Also, remember that you'll need to run lxappearance also as root if you want to set the theme & icon for using PCmanFM as root.

PCmanFM rocks!! __{{emoticon}}__
