File Sharing

[Wade Smart]

Im trying to share files between two 10.04 computers on my network.

My network: cablemodem to router, router to computers. Nothing special.

Ubuntu 1 machine: System > Preferences Personal File Sharing
checked Share public files. Under /home, right clicked on Public and 
clicked Share this folder clicked Share this folder, Allow others to 
create and, Guest Access.

I did the same thing on Ubuntu 2.

On Ubuntu 1 I click Network and see three icons:
two icons look like rack servers and one says my computer name and the 
other says public files on this computer. The final icon says Windows 
Network.

When I click on Windows Network on Ubuntu 1 I see the folder Workgroup. 
When I click on that I see another icon that is a rack server image and 
its that computer name. Im going in cirlces here.

On Ubuntu 2, I did the same thing but, when I click on Network from 
Places I only see Windows Network and when I click on it it says "Unable 
to mount location."
