[SOLVED] Ubuntu-ICS won't work-sharing services are not installed

Ozzyfreakdude · 09-01-2007, 01:28 PM

I just got ubuntu and I'm trying to network it to my XP laptop with internet connection sharing and filesharing. It says there's no internet connection and I don't know how to find shared files or anything. in the administration>shared folders option, it says "sharing services are not installed. you need to install at least either Samba or nfs to share your folders." So I looked on an ubuntu guide and it gave me terminal commands for installing samba and nfs, but it didn't make any difference and does exactly the same thing

This might not be the answer you were looking for... but why not use a router? ICS even with two windows machines is much more hassle than it's worth.

I like and use ICS because it works for me and is cheaper, but I'm marking this solved, because the problem was I just had to do some kind of update for ubuntu, and it worked
