I have 3 computers, all Ubuntu 13.04. I have shared folders on all which I would like to be able to access on the other computers. For some strange reason the 3rd computer can only see its own shared files. It fails to see the other computers (under Nautilus). The computer is connected to the LAN because it has no trouble printing on a shared network printer.
The other 2 computers see one another and can access all of the shared folders (excluding those on the 3rd computer).
I tried to put in the location window of Nautilus the location of the folder, so as not to depend upon the browse. For example on the 3rd computer I put
smb://ilan-main/mydb
It gave me the error message: Oops! Something went wrong. Unhandled error message: Failed to mount Windows share: Connection timed out.
I also tried to connect to the 3rd computer from this one with
smb://ilan-lenovo-g570/temp
and I received the same error. I'm quite sure this used to work, but I'm not sure when it stopped working. (A computer died and had to be replaced and it is possible that it never worked on the new computer which did the replacement.) In any case, I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks, Ilan
