Hello everyone,
 
I've been doing some searching and i cant find a solution to my problem.
I just set up my new 4p monster, and im having trouble seeing it on my network, so that i can monitor it over hfm on my main computer.  I can see my main pc on the 4p monster, but not the other way around.
 
I am using 10.10, and any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks

Did you share the F@H folder?  From the file manager, you right click on the folder and sharing should be one of the options. That's one of the steps - and if I recall correctly, on 10.10, you will then be prompted to download some packages to enable sharing.  Once you have the share set up, you can easily to it by \\ip-address\foldername from in the HFM add client screen.

Yeah I shared the whole folder in ubuntu, but i cant even see it from my win 7 pc. Good news though, its still folding away

If, from a DOS prompt, you do "dir \\ip_address\foldername" (e.g. "\\10.0.0.112\fah", do you get "the network path was not found", meaning Samba probably isn't running, or do you get an authentication error, meaning user/password issues?
 
On the Linux system, if you do "ps -ef | grep smbd" do you see any running instances of smbd (the Samba daemon)?

I tried that with 11.04. Got "Could not apply changes. Fix broken packages first." Haven't tried my new 4p with 10.10 yet.
Any ideas. Not trying to hijack, it's related

I looked at my install like this: It had only been running for 2 days, so i threw up the -oneunit flag, and re-formated the drive then reinstalled the OS. It must have been a setting that i did when i first started.

I've run both 10.10 and 12.04 without issue. Well except for the hard drive failure...
 

be sure to enable windows sharing support if you system running hfm has windozs on it
