Cannot rw files across two networked ubuntu machines.

[officerdibble]

I have machine X and machine Y both running Ubuntu 9.4
I can navigate through nuatilus on X to the files I want to use, say mp3 or jpg files, on Y/home but I cannot exectute them as I do not have permission. I am logged on to both machines with the same UID etc. I have noticed that in the address bar on Nautilus it says "smb:X/home" so it appears to be using samba to see these files (samba is set up on Y. I think this may be the problem but as I am a newcommer to linux and how to share files between linux machines I find I need assistance in this.
Any takers?????

I love this site, so many sh*t hot experts.

A great solution; worked great after just a little messing about. The directories on my remote Ubuntu machine are mounted and ready for use on startup, just as you would expect.

A little daunting is Ubuntu for the newbies, but stick in and when stuck - ask the questions. I'm finding it a great OS, far better that MS Windows.

Thanks Guys....
