How do I connect my Samsung TabS 10.5 to lan?

[Malcolm Brown]

What it says on the tin really. The TabS connects to the internet fine, but I would like it to be seen by and see other machines on our local network. I have installed ES File Explorer which lists the computers, but refuses to go any further. The main machine is Ubuntu 14.04 which acts a file server and the other I need is a dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 12.04.

With the Windows machine you need to grant the device permission to access the folders that you are sharing.
