I am using knoppix dvd v5.1.1 installed on harddrive and i would like to connect my pc with a laptop via a direct pc-to-pc cable. I have no problems running samba to connect to my main network (which is windows based) but connecting to my laptop is problematic.

My laptop is running Windows XP. I thought of starting a samba server from my pc but this returns with an error "Su returned with an error". I then tried to configure the LiSa daemon but after changing all the information and inputing the IP addresses, the wizard simply doesnt store my settings on the configuration but returns to the default settings

How do I solve this problem?
