I have two laptops first one is HP G7-notebook and 2nd one is Lenovo ideapad. Both laptops are installed with Ubuntu 22.4

In my HP laptop, there is no LAN option. Only have USB and C Type. I am trying to connect it through WiFi.

While I share any folder from HP laptop. That folder shows in my Lenovo laptop as the 1st laptop's name. But when I clicked on that I got an error message. Please check the below image and let me know how can I connect that. enter image description here

If anybody know how we connect it through WiFi please answer here.

  • What do you intend to achieve by connecting laptop HP to laptop Lenovo? Please edit your question so your goal is clear. Except this: based on HP's data sheet for the G7 series , your laptop has a USB 3.1 type C Thunderbolt port, hence it supports LAN. You just need a USB C -> LAN adapter or a USB C dock featuring a LAN port.

My problem was solved by running the below command

sudo smbpasswd -a chinmay

It was showing an error message because I have not set the SMB password. After the password is set, Now it's connected.

chinmay is my PC username - you can use your own. No need to connect any C-Type or LAN cable. You need to stay in the same network.

    Based on the rather limited information in your answer, I'm assuming the answer to your original question is "Don't use a C type cable to do this" and that you are connecting the 2 machines over WiFi. You might clarify this by rewriting your question and/or your answer.
