Hi everyone,

I'm having big problems sharing folders across my network. I have installed caja-share, rebooted, and it actually worked the first time. Ever since, though, I get the "Failed to mount location, Failed to retrieve share list from server".

Here is the output of findsmb:

                                *=DMB
                                +=LMB
IP ADDR         NETBIOS NAME     WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
192.168.1.109   KEYSSCHOOL01-TR [	WORKGROUP     ]

and here is the output of sudo iptables -L

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

I haven't yet modified any text files, because I feel there must be a less hacky way to fix things.

Thanks everyone!

With 18.04 I had similar issues. However, I was able to connect to remote servers by using IP number.
