I have two machines (1 laptop, 1 desktop) on same network connected to a router both have Ubuntu 12.04.
I need to share my e.g. "movies drive" from Desktop computer so that i can watch those on laptop just by accessing it through Nautilus.

Currently in my nautilus it only shows Windows Networks under Browse Networks and fails to show my desktop over there.

Thanks

At first, to share folder between Ubuntu machines: choose folder -> right click -> folder sharing(or in file Properties).

If your computer isn't shown in Browse Network, maybe your network isn't configured right way. But anyway you can try the next:
open nautilius, press Ctrl+L, and put smb://ip.address(change ip.address with ip of PC you wanna connect to, like smb://192.168.1.1
