If you are setting up to share files between two Linux installations, you need to set up NFS shares and you probably want to use this wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo

The title is somewhat of a misnomer since Gigolo can be used to connect to other machines using a variety of protocols.
EDIT: Well, a variety of protocols except NFS

Re: Gigolo step-by-step configuration needed
Based on your latest series of posts it appears to be samba. Gigolo will display samba hosts automatically ( assuming samba itself is set up correctly ) when you click on the network tab. Or you can use the "Connect to Server" facility in Gigolo to connect to it by ip address, name, or even avahi ( i.e., hostname.local ) is you wish.

I have a question for you. Are all these machines yours? I mean are you the only user?

Yes, they are all mine. And both machines are connected to a Cisco Router/modem. See attached pdf.altair4 wrote:I have a question for you. Are all these machines yours? I mean are you the only user?
Re: Gigolo step-by-step configuration needed
Well, the only reason I asked the question is that you posted another topic about Samba which I tried to answer but you never responded. So I don't know if what I suggested didn't work and now you are trying Gigolo. If that's the case it most likely won't work either. Gigolo facilitates samba connection it can't fix the underlying problem you are having - if you are still having a problem.
If you are the only user among all these machines you have another option. Since this topic is about Gigolo I can show you how to connect to and if you want automatically mount the other machine at login.
On Mint14:
[1] Install the following package:
[2] Make sure avahi is running:
If it is not running start it:
On Lubuntu:
[1] Install Gigolo and set preferences as I described in the HowTo above. [ STEPS 1, 2, and 4-Set gigolo to start at login ]
[2] Make sure avahi is running on that system:
If it is not running start it:
[3] Then In Gigolo go to Actions > Connect and fill in the blanks this way:
I don't know if that's the correct hostname of your Mint14 box so correct it if it is not.
You should be prompted for passwords and such and then allowed access to your machine
While still in Gigolo you can right click the "SFTP for nomko on nomko-mint14.local" icon and select Bookmark. Then Fill it out this way: If you want it to automount every time you log into Lubuntu check the "Auto Connect" box.
If all that works then do the exact same things to the other box - On Lubuntu install openssh-server and on Mint14 install Gigolo.
