I have shared my Videos folder in the home directory of my netbook and am attempting to access it from the new laptop I just got. Samba is installed on both machines, as well as smbclient. File sharing is enabled and I can see the netbook in the "Network" entry of nautilus, but when I attempt to open the computer to access the shared folder I receive the error:
"Unable to mount location DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did no receive a reply (timeoutby message bus)"
A timeout error seems odd since it appears instantly. This occurs on both machines (e.g. I share a file on the laptop and attempt to open it from the netbook).
ifconfig
from each computer? There's a possibility that neither computer has a network address.) I like to use SFTP between Linux computers (it seems more reliable than samba, and it's very secure, I.E. everything's encrypted).
