Ubuntu Network Discovery stuff

Remmina - Remote Desktop Client: https://snapcraft.io/remmina
"Remmina is a remote-desktop client written in GTK, to use other desktops remotely, from a tiny screen or large monitors.
Remmina supports multiple network protocols in an integrated and consistent user interface. The protocols currently supported are: X2Go, RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), VNC (Virtual Network Computing), and SSH (Secure Shell / Open SSH)."

How to turn on Network Discovery and Share between computers with Samba:

Browse files on a server or network share: 

Also check wsdd-server

Should the shares be visible in the Windows and Ubuntu network folders?
" 'Computer name' in this context refers to the NetBIOS name of the machines. NetBIOS is a SMBv1 thing and without it there is no NetBIOS. Neither Windows or Samba enable SMBv1 by default."

wsdd-server binary package in Ubuntu:


"wsdd  implements both a Web Service Discovery (WSD) host and a WSD client daemon. The host implementation         enables (Samba) hosts, like your local NAS device, to be found by  Web  Service  Discovery  clients  like         Windows. The client mode allows searching for other WSD hosts on the local network.           The  default mode of operation is the host mode. The client or discovery mode must be enabled explicitly.         Unless configured otherwise, the host mode is always active. Both modes can be used at the same time."
