    Knoppix Live CD to WindowsXP Home Networking

    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

    RESOLVED

    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!
