Hi I am new to Ubuntu/Gnome so apologies if this is a simple question... I am trying to share folders and an external HDD....I already did set sharing on my home folder through the Shared Folders screen... Now when I log onto Shared Folders all the options are greyed out and it says "Authentication required to make changes" What authentication? I cannot recall changing settings that would require one to authenticate, and even if i did, where is the screen to do so... Maybe I am missing something... Please help. I have set up ubuntu on a new personal computer...no windows alternative, nothing.....so I am stuck at the moment. Help appreciated... tks Peter -- SwimEEZY SA T +27 (0)11 622 0901 F +27 (0)11 622 0902 info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.swimeezy.co.za _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
