i am sorry to mark this invalid, but it is too vague and not really true. ubuntu comes with avahi installed by default, so if you connect too ubuntu computers together they choose ip address, and can resolve each other with hostname.local. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf
it is using the same technology as mac os x. perhaps you mean that filesharing is not instantly enabled when you connect 2 computers? it is not turned on by default on mac os x. i recommend that if you want to make progress in making file sharing easier on ubuntu, to try the following. investigate what is currently available (System->Administration->Shared folders, gshare, ...) start a discussion on the forums ( http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=253 will be updated for 8.04 soon) write a spec ** Changed in: gnome-network (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Ubuntu offers no "zero configuration network" or so (unlike Apple) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146737 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
