First, sorry about "sharename" - I didn't even know about that - I guess "ShareName" is the default? Second - I notice that the folders I have made as "shared" are no longer, on both machines - I reenabled them - I did not know when and how this had happened.
#12: 1. Type in "Location" in Nautilus: "smb://192.168.x.xxx/ShareName" gets this: "Could not display "smb://192.168.x.xxx/sharename/". Error: Failed to mount Windows share Please select another viewer and try again." 2." $ sudo ufw disable [sudo] password xxxx: xxxx Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup" and repeating the above gets the same response. #13 :2 No the issue is, "It doesn't work!" - the suggestions are added as a reference, and have no bearing on the actual issue. :3 Well I took the information direct from the Ubuntu Wiki, and the Ubuntu Messageboards, as well as prior experiments from other online sources - this validates my "suggestions" and leads to the conclusion that a/the problem may also then be (emphasized) the "underdocumentation" as well! ***** Comments indicate possible "operator error" and therefore I am going to reload a fresh install of the Karmic RC on both machines. (I wanted to do this at the release anyway to test, but I can use the RC today.) After a successful boot and update/upgrade, I will then do nothing except what I have documented here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287543 on both machines, AND create a directory/folder on each machine that is indicated as "shared" in Nautilus. Please then give me a specific procedure to test. This should identify if it's "operator error" or "Ubuntu error". I expect to have this completed in a few hours, and when I see procedures here to test, I will make those first priority today.
