Having the two Win 7's see each other is not really important and TBH I'd rather they didn't anyway, to avoid spreading of bad shit.<br /><br /> Not sure what this "Homegroup" thing is as it appears to exclude non-Win7 pcs (I disabled it since I can't see shit with it anyway).<br /><br /> Right now I can't seem to get the system & network control panels to agree which fucking network my Win 7 is on (after several reboots).<br /><br /> Edit. OK, I fixed that, still can't see the share though.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 29 Apr 2018 15:18 by DSMITHHFX</div> </div> <div class="message_attachments"> <span>Attachments:</span> <ul> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=ca10e62b81a35f25740d49b49d0f3815&filename=nw+sharingcp.JPG" target="_blank">nw+sharingcp.JPG</a></li> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=337260bb87a5c6c26bd51db869497799&filename=systemcp.JPG" target="_blank">systemcp.JPG</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42163.3&return_msg=42163.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42163.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42163_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_42163_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">29 Apr 2018 15:14</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">4 of 16</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42163.4">42163.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Also, Win 7 can see the Ubuntu pc via vnc.
