I'm running Lucid on a desktop and a laptop, both of which are connected to the internet through a wireless router. I want to set up file sharing between the two. Security is not an issue. I've read about zeroconf networking and it sounds like just what I'm looking for. I need easy here.
When I go to System Settings> Network Settings> Service Discovery it is all blank. I have installed Avahi and it displays the existence of the other machine (in both directions) but there is no option to connect or browse. Most of the time I can see both computers in Dolphin or Konqueror, and even my wife's desktop when it is on, but never able to open any of the connections.
I installed Kepas and behold, it successfully sends files from one machine to the other, but this still doesn't allow me to browse folders between the two machines. Most all of the threads I've seen are very old and not specific to Lucid and KDE. Looks like Lucid is all set up for this to be easy, so I must be missing something simple.
