Share Windows 8.1 Folder with Ubuntu 14.04
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
networking 14.04 windows samba sharing

Share the folder on windows machine to all users.
Change the settings in windows machine:
Go to Control Panel > Network and sharing center > Change advanced sharing settings > Enable Turn Off password protect sharing option.
NOTE: Make sure the folder's Properties > Security includes Guest. Folders in C:Users generally don't include that user.
[This will allow sharing of files on network without knowing the username and password of windows machine]
Now try to access the folder from ubuntu.
