Networking Ubuntu computers












0














I have recently built a new computer and am running Ubuntu 18.04. I am trying to connect it to another computer (10+ yrs old) running Ubuntu 14.04. The two systems see each other on the network but when it asks for login info it doesn't connect. I have shared the directories but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?



BTW, where do I find the domain of the network?



Thanks

          I found a simple solution here. Seems to work good (now that I figured it out.) You can also share other directories beside Public, depending on your need for security. Mine is just for home so this works fine.
