SMB setup on Windows XP
To set up SMB on windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel.
Click the "Network and Internet Connections" option.
Then click the "Network Connections" option.
Double click the icon labelled "Local Area Connection". The icon may have a number after it, for example "Local Area Connection 5".
Click the Properties button.
Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click Properties.
Click Advanced.
On the DNS tab, untick the box marked "Register this connection's addresses in DNS".
On the WINS tab, click Add, then enter 131.111.229.252 (not the address in the picture! that's out of date) and click Add.
This should add a new entry in the "WINS addresses" box.
Click OK, OK, OK and Close. Click Back twice, so that you are in the main Control Panel window again.
Click the "Performance and Maintenance" option, then click on System.
On the "Computer Name" tab, click the "Change..." button. The computer name should be set to the hostname - in most cases this is your hermes username. So if your computer is abc12.trinhall.cam.ac.uk, you should set the computer name as "abc12". The workgroup should be set to "THSTUDENT".
