Since the installation of Windows 7 revealed that a company can not access the file domain Server, File server is Linux + Samba architecture, so a while ago on the use of SSH to step up to the server to find files, really a lot of trouble. It can not stand today, and decided to look carefully at the problem, the experience to others. Server architecture has been explained, and the Start menu type\server name folder name, by common sense need to enter the domain user name / password, then you can use. But this time I can not verify the identity of how hard, not always prompt the user name password. Into the "Network and Sharing Center", found it not in the domain of computer information, enter the "Advanced sharing settings", the "Network discovery" and "Public folder sharing" set to Turn on, in the calculation domain are retrieved one by one. Try\server name folder name still not open. check and reply.

Such sharing is of practical value: for home or the workplace all the computers share a printer, regardless of what operating system to use these computers can be both economical and convenient. Although Windows 2000Beginning, Microsoft has alreadyTCP / IPAs a standard network protocol, but Windows operating system still uses a proprietary protocol- SMB (Server Message Block). In the similar system Communication between.
