Re: [LUG] Connecting to another computer on a network

[Simon Robert <simon.robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With kubuntu if you right click on the folder from dolphin, select 
properties and then the share tab you can adjust the settings. If you 
have not used samba before you should get asked if you want to install 
it. I find grabbing stuff from the kubuntu folders to windows is fine, 
but have never managed to get the windows settings right for accessing 
shared folders from kubuntu.
