Oh wow, that has bought up a list of the Ubuntu directories on this and 
if I put in the other IP address of the other machine that one as well. 
Problem is, I cant log in, it has a box asking for Username, Domain and 
Password. I just tried a load of different things I think it could be, 
and its not letting me in. So, at least I can now see the other 
computers directories, I just have to find a way to work out what to 
enter into those three things. Funny thing though, it says just above 
the Username box, How do I find out what the Domain is?

Password required for share print$ on 192.168.0x.x is that normal, not 
sure why it should be about Print$

Thank you for you help.
