of course it is over your head! That is why we ask; so that we don&#39;t drown!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 3:43 PM, betty <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:nicepenguin@webcanine.com">nicepenguin@webcanine.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">i have two linux computers called &#39;stormy&#39; and &#39;stormy too&#39;. i want to be in one of my offices in the house and access files or send files to another office in my house. ie, send from &#39;stormy&#39; to &#39;stormy too&#39; .<br>

 they are both on a wired connection to my cox service.<br>
i have installed &#39;samba&#39;. (but i don&#39;t know where it is on the gui)<br>
i think i have to enable file sharing through the &#39;admin&gt;preferences&gt;personal file sharing, but when i  go to that the screen says &quot;this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system&quot; . well that is all fine and good, but it does not tell me what the required packages are.<br>

this is frustrating.<br>
<br>
is this something that is over my head?<br>
as usual thank you for your magnificent and useful help; please keep basic as possible.<br>
maybe there is an easy tutorial i can follow?, i looked but as expected, there is a plethora of sites....<br>
