file sharing

Suddenly lmule stopped working (or xmule). Somehow files is the ~/.lmule/ can get easily corrupted. Just remove all the files (or even delete the whole directory) and the program works again. Don't forget to save the files from the Temp and Incoming directories! You can copy them later back into the newly created ~/.lmule/Temp and ~/.lmule/Incoming directories.

Since I always use some GUIs, I don't really remember anymore how to connect to a Windows machine via the command line. smbclient -L windowshost shows you the shares that are available. Often, you you cannot browse them without a login/password for that windows machine, therefore you need to type smbclient -L windowshost -U username And occasionally the netbios name doesn't work either and you need to replace it by the IP address.
