Knoppix Live CD to WindowsXP Home Networking

[IBM]

Hi,

I've done the usual search and found quite a few good threads
already on this topic. BUT... each of those threads assumed,
it seems to me, that knoppix was installed on the Hard Drive.

If I misunderstand please correct me and teach me how to
accomplish networking with knoppix and XP Home.

I've been to a page that talks about using the samba server,
but then it also talks about editing knoppix files.. which of course
you can't do on a live version beccause the CD-R is well.. a CD-R

So then my question.

On a Live CD version of Knoppix, how do you network to a
Windows XP Home computer. I should mention that one of the
threads here says you have to alter the XP Registry to allow
XP Home to see knoppix, but the page I read says it can't be done
on XP Home..only XP Pro.

I've got 40 Gigs of data that I need to transfer from a windows XP Pro
machine that won't boot to windows, but will boot to Knoppix Live, to
a Windows XP Home machine (laptop). Both are on the same LAN.
Both can ping eachother. In Knoppix, I don't have LinNeighborhood,
but I do have the Samba Network Browser. In this browser it sees
the XP home machine. But I can't log in to it because it asks for a
username and password. Which when entered do not work.

I have enabled the guest account on the XP Home machine, added
a reg hack to allow anonymous login i think???

All I want to do is copy files in knoppix to the all users account >
then to the documents folder in Xp Home. As it is a shared resource.

But I'm having the hardest time.

Any help for a knoppix n00b is greatly appreciated!!

thanks :-)

Well thanks I guess... o_0

I got it sorted out.
In all my trouble shooting and trying to learn knoppix
it skipped my mind that knoppix's workgroup
was different than my laptop's.

I remembered seeing it in passing, i don't even know
where I saw it to be honest. So I changed the
laptop to the same workgroup and voila! Bellicimo!
