In a terminal run:
gnome-file-share-properties
And uncheck "Share public Files on Network".
Hi all,
I am playing with a Linux network with a server and a workstation. I configured this as a VM team in VMWare. The server is Cent os 5.6, with Xampp (http server) and a shared public folder. As a workstation I used successively Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Fedora 15 and Debian 6. In all cases on the workstations I can see the webserver on the server, so the LAN is OK. When I go to network, I see the public folder on the server and a Windows network. This is correct. When I try to open the Windows network, I get "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server". When I try to open the public folder, I get "Unable to mount location. DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)".
These problems occur with all three tried Linuxes.
How can I open the public folder on a workstation? And (less important) how can I open the Windows network?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Fokke Nauta
