sudo apt-get install samba
sudo apt-get install smbfs

sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf_backup
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Find this line

workgroup = MSHOME

Replace with the following line

workgroup = new_domain_or_workgroup

Save the edited file (sample)
sudo testparm
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Linux itself doesn't use workgroups like Windows does so you need something like Samba to allow Windows and Linux to operate in the same environment.

Installed a ssd drive in my harpertown cruncher. Wouldn't recognize the drive. Went into bios and changed to ahci from ide. Wasn't sure if ubuntu would fire up. It did and my ssd drive is recognized. Do I have to reinstall ubuntu to take advantage of ahci? Or is there a setting I need to change. This is on a asus dseb-dg mobo.
