Running Ubuntu Mate 17.10 on two computers connected to a router.
Trying to access a shared file on computer B from computer A.
When I browse the network from computer A and click on
computer B, I get the error, “Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out.”
How can I remedy this ?
Ok, I found out that it was my firewall that was stopping me
from mounting the other computer.
I made a rule in the firewall that allowed input from that
pc’s ip addess, using port 80, but I’m not sure that is the
right port to use.
However, I still cannot access the shared folder on the other
pc even though I can now see it.
Can someone clear this up for me ?
