| File sharing with Windows 7 computer |

Hi.
I just had great success installing Linux Lite 3.4 32 bit on a old Toshiba Satelite laptop.
I want to be able to share folders between this computer and two computers that runs Windows 7 home premium. The large question is how do I make this happens - what steps to take? I'm still quite new to Linux, have installed Linux Mint, mate on another computer so I doesn't consider myself absolutely blank on Linux.
So far I've found this guide that I try to follow: https://www.howtogeek.com/176471/how-to-...and-linux/
But when it comes to where I tries to run the sudo mount.cifs command, the command display "could not resolve address for <computer name>: Unknown error>.
Is there something missing in that tutorial?
The smaller question I have, after experience some similar problems with Mint, but not quite same setup.
Q1: Is Samba installed and service running on Linux Lite out of the box, or do it need to be installed? I cannot find a command to quicly test wheter samba is installed/running or not - "rpm -q samba" doesn't work (it tells me that "rpm" needs to be installed.
Q2: The user profile on both Windows 10 computers has blank password. There is some in Mint forum saying that Linux may have problems with network shares that haven't password on the user. Is this the case?This guide doesn't mention any problems.
Q3: I've also read that there might be problems when Windows computers have dynamic IP. Is that true?
Thanks in advance
[edit]
So I found this article:
https://superuser.com/questions/17458/sm...es-address
It says I need to install winbind, here we go [c]sudo apt-get install winbind[/c]

Hi folks. This is my first post on this forum, so I feel quite funny about posting in this forum.
Anyway, this is the very first time I log in to the forum so I cannot say if that message will be around next time after I log off.
The full content of message text says:

I have read that, and the message disappears initially after I hit the close button, just to reappear again when navigating to another forum or thread.
[edit]
Found it. It turns out that is a personal message that everybody gets when creating a new account on this forum. But I was mistaken, and thaught that the message should disappear if I followed the link in the message, but so was not the case.
To make that disappear, I clicked on "My messages" "Read your messages", and I just deleted it (sorry, no offence Jerry, I have seen the message thirty times or so by now, without understanding how to accept the message permanently).

I see links at the top of the page for Twitter, Google+, and Facebook, but not for the ever-increasingly popular Diaspora platform. I have been bragging about LL there for a little bit, but it would be cool if LL had an "official Diaspora page" just as you (probably) do on the others. On several of the servers (called "pods") you can link posts to the other networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, etc.
You could reach a lot more people, I think, since Facebook and Twitter are getting not a little creepy in their privacy policies and stuff, scaring users away to privacy-respecting FOSS / federated networks like Diaspora.

| Possible bug in Grub in latest Install Updates |

Looks to me like there could be a bug in the latest version of Grub.
IMPORTANT: If you are planning to do updates, DON'T. Not until there is more word on this.
Those that have, may see a message similar to the following in their log:
Code: Setting up grub-common (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
Setting up grub2-common (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
Setting up grub-pc-bin (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
Setting up grub-pc (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst: line 703: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Ubuntu is bound to catch this so please wait for further instructions and don't not update yet if you haven't already.
Stay tuned

have gone round and round. Printer installed fine with usb connection going through routine found via web search. But entirely unable after dozens of pages to find a way to install this printer so it works wirelessly. Cannot find the ip address. The interface on the printer has only 4 buttons and seems to just want to search for a connection, no other menu options. After searching 2-3 minutes it prints out an error page at the bottom of which it says:
<Configuration>
Network Name (SSID) SETUP
Hardware Address (MAC) 28:56:5a:67:49:2b
Communication Mode
