None seams to be the right answer.
I just checked Dreamweaver and I can use it on a local network also.
Then I checked my Network and I can see my Debian box with Samba.
When I click on it, it asks me for a password, but my user password does
not work, I even tried root and it does not work.
So I guess all I need is to setup Samba to accept passwords.
What do you guys say?
How do I do that? Is there a HOWTO somewhere?
