Hi there, recently got a Nexus 7, and am running 4.2.1
My Galaxy Samsung Nexus phone connects to folders on my Ubuntu server using ES File Explorer.
I've replicated these settings on the tablet, but it consistently tells me that it cannot find the server.
The server is still accessible by both my phone and Mac, so it wouldn't appear to be anything incorrect on the server itself.
I've seen some suggestions that you need to root the Nexus 7 to get samba access, and others saying this is nonsense. I've also tried a couple of other apps (AndSMB, Astro) and no joy with those either, so it doesn't appear to be restricted to ES.
Am I missing something blindingly obvious?
Thanks!
