Ubuntu share folders

I used to use Samba to share folders between my laptop and my desktop. It works fine until 10.10 that Ubuntu decided to act crazy and screw the whole mount.cifs thing. I still managed to share the folders for a while after some tweaks with /etc/fstab. But today it is just not working anymore. I got the “Unable to find suitable address” error throughout.

I guess I am through with Samba. I did try NFS using this and it seems to working fine now.
