I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I am totally new to Ubuntu.
I have another computer with Windows 7 installed.
Both computers are connected via router using wifi.
But still I cannot see or access another system in Browse Network. What can be the issue here?
I tried alot of things :
e.g modify and updating samba with following command:



$ sudo apt-get install samba
$ gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf


I tried changing:



From browseable = no to browseable = yes



Also tried:



$ gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf


Changed:



From



hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns


To



hosts: files wins dns


Nothing works at all. Can anyone guide me whats wrong here.

          If you want to just access the files from other Windows PCs, you can use this


          And

          For other Linux PCs, you can install ssh server on them and access them by



          $ssh username@ip-address


          For remote desktop connection, VNC is a nice cross-platform approach.
