[LUG] Connecting Ubuntu Laptop to Ubuntu Desktop

 

Hi All

It seems as though this should be simple! I have folders on the desktop machine that I have right clicked and selected Local Network Share. Within the settings I then clicked share this folder and allow guest access.
On my laptop I then open files and select other locations and then 
select the desktop. I have the folders listed as shared. I double click 
and get a dialogue box that says password required for share movies. If 
I ignore this and click collect, it tells me unable to access location, 
Permission denied. I then try selecting registered user and I enter my 
username and password and it gives me no dialogue box just returns to 
the same screen.
What am I doing wrong please and how can I fix it. Many thanks.
