I have two standalone PC's. One is Windows 8.1 and the other is Ubuntu 14.04. I have a working network between the two. Each machine can ping the other and I have Internet shared via Ethernet from the Windows machine to the Linux machine. One thing I can't seem to get right however is the sharing of a folder.
I have installed samba etc and followed numerous forums and so called solutions but none of them seem to work. When I try to access the Windows machine from the Linux machine it give the error:
Unhandled error message: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out
