With this platform we can manage in an easier way the transfer of files. We have to enter the host name or IP address.
We click “Quickconnect” and in the panel below will appear the local site and the remote site.
To manage the files we click on the right bottom of the mouse and it will appear all the options we have.

Samba

...

Server (Linux 10.04)

...

To share files between the guest OS we have to set the server and the client. The server will be the Linux guest OS. The steps to set the server are:    

• Some software packages are needed so we have to install them with the following command:

• Once we’ve got samba installed, we’ll need to edit  the configuration file, running the following command:

• We are going to make some changes in smb.conf for the configuration of the server:

         In the \[ global \] section we have to put the name of our workgroup or domain and uncomment the security parameter:

 workgroup = 

...

HOME
           .
           .
           .
 security = user

    Now we can create a new section or uncomment one for the directory to be shared:

[share]

comment = Ubuntu File Server Share
path = /srv/samba/share
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0755

  The main parameters of each section are:

• comment: a short description
• path: the path to the directory to share.
• browsable: enables Windows clients to browse the shared directory using Windows Explorer. 
• guest ok: allows clients to connect to the share without supplying a password. 
• read only: determines if the share is read only or if write privileges are granted.
• create mask: determines the permissions new files will have when created.

After these changes in smb.conf we have to restart the samba services to enable the new configuration:

...

Client (Windows XP)

...

To set up the Samba client in Windows I follow these steps:

1. Click Start -> Control Panel
2. Click the "Network and Internet Connections" option
3. Then click the "Network Connections" option
4. Double click the icon labelled "Local Area Connection". The icon may have a number after it, for example "Local Area Connection 5"
5. Click the Properties button
6. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click Properties
7. Click Advanced
8. On the WINS tab, click Add, then enter 192.168.122.130 (the address of the server) and click Add.
9. OK and close

To join the domain of the server :

1. Click Start -> Control Panel
2. Click the "Performance and Maintenance" option, then click on System
3. Click on "Change" button. The computer name should be set to the hostname "koneauto". The domain should be set to "HOME"

The problem is that when I click OK the message is "A domain controller for the domain HOME cannot be contacted" . After several trials trying different configurations in smb.conf it doesn't work.

The "How to" I was using to setup the server and the client was:

RTAI

To install the RTAI I was following this documentation :https://www.rtai.org/RTAILAB/RTAI-TARGET-HOWTO.txt

We will try to install RTAI in the host OS Linux 10.04 (64bits). We download the latest version from  www.rtai.org that is RTAI 3.8. We'll run the following command:

We are going to switch the directory and unpack

We have to download a new kernel from http://www.kernel.org/ we can use the kernel we have in the distribution.

The first three numbers in the kernel have to match the
first three numbers in the patch.
So we downloaded 2.6.23.1 kernel and we will use the 2.6.23 patch

Now we will aply the RTAI patch:

Then we make a copy of the  configuration file to the root folder.
 

Lets finally run the kernel configuration menu

With this new configuration, the kernel has to compile with the following command:
