You can mark it as solved.

Please edit your original post and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the Subject Line.

You may want to check your BIOS setting to see if there's an option to keep USB powered even when turned off.

BTW, iI noticed your info:
Your CPU is dual core with dual threads so it should be showing 4, not three

We aren't using netbios. I know it's not literally NETBIOS any more; used it as interchangable with "Windows networking" or more specifically, that which Windows networking grew from.

I hope I get the names right here: jim owns the Gateway and jerry owns the HP right? ....

Yes, you're correct.

I edited the two files as you said and now I can create/move files! Thank you so much for your effort and time.

I'm marking this as solved!

Thank you to all who participated!!!

Not an expert on firewalls I'm afraid but whatever you had in place made this way more difficult to diagnose. In case it helps, as far as firewalling goes, all I do is allow 445/tcp in/out from/to the local network on every machine. I don't allow guest/anonymous access, so I can't comment on that i...

Firewall is no problem. I can take care of that. It's only the creating and moving files that I would need.

Thanks so much altair4!

But your original share definition allowed guest access. Did you change your share definition: ...

I looked into NFS and it's complicated. NFS is also by the way exceedingly easy to set up An attempt to explain how you should probably proceed,not sure if it is complete : To share using NFS you need to install the nfs server: ( not entirely sure if this is necessary for you ) sudo apt-get update ...

I've decided that I don't want to create user jerry and user jim on both computers, since that is necessary for ssh to work.

Thank you!

I keep getting the "Failed to open... Failed to retreive share list from server: No route to host." When you try to do it from Browse Network in thunar or when you try it from the terminal? Both from command in terminal or in Thunar. At the moment it looks like a networking problem not a samba prob...

At the moment, neither computer connects to each other. I keep getting the "Failed to open... Failed to retreive share list from server: No route to host."
