Hi

I am trying to connect my win7 PC with my Ubuntu 11.10 PC - but failing :(

Am sort of part way there in that both PC's can see each other on the network BUT:

1) If i try and connect to win7 using the Ubuntu PC i get the following error message "Failed to retrieve share list from server"

2) If i try and connect from my win7 PC (to Ubuntu PC) i am slightly closer in that it can at least see into the contents of folders BUT if i try and copy a file from Ubuntu to win7 i get the following error message " You require permission from the computer administrator to make changes to this file". Which admin do i need permission from (win7 or Ubuntu) and how do i grant it. Is it even possilbe to copy files from Ubuntu using a win7 PC?

Any help/advice on what i need to do to sort this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
