If you only want to share files between Ubuntu machines, using a secure connection, SSH is an option https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS I use it to move files and mount drives between linux machines (and my mac) on my home network. If you want to share files with machines (including Windows), or guest users on you network, then configuring Samba using the guide on the wiki should be straight forward. https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html You should also check how you are trying to connect to your other machine, on a home network you may need to add the suffix .local to the host name of the remote machine, for example to "see" you desktop machine from a laptop, you need to connect to \\desktop.local Pinging the IP address, then by hostname is a good starting point to ensure that you can communicate between your machines.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Unable to share files over network.
the fact that the line you added has a # at the start indicates that it is a comment and will not effect the configuration of samba. try this - http://tinyurl.com/645hsq2 Jacob Mansfield Programmer CyberKing Solutions™ www.cyberkingsolutions.co.uk - I do know the database is down "When Windows™ is opened the bugs come in."
