In nautilus (running ubuntu 13.04) I am trying to connect to a windows8 machine using the following url:
smb://[email protected]
Followed by entering the password that I also use when doing a remote desktop connection.
But I get:
Unhandled error message: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out
Do I need to configure something on ubuntu/window8 to establish a connection using smb?
I have tried to follow this guide:
http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/configure-samba-sharing-between-ubuntu.html#windows_to_ubuntu
And share a folder on the windows8 machine, but still get the same error as above.
From commandline I have also tried to mount it manually:
root@ubuntu:/mnt/win8# mount -t cifs -o username=user //xxx.xx.xx.xxx/sharedfolder /mnt/win8/
But I get:
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
which is not that helpful.
If I run:
smbtree -b -N
I don't see the machine that I would like to mount. Only a bunch of printers and my own local virtual machines.
