Thanks for the answer.
Samba server is not included in a usual install of Ubuntu.
In Nautilus :
1st time you check "share this folder" ('partager ce dossier' in french in the
screen copy included) in the folder properties of the folder you want to share
on your network (right click on the folder), Ubuntu ask to install samba
server...
Next, you will have to reboot, go back to this folder properties window ; you
are now able to check "share this folder". At this time, Ubuntu tell you that
it must change the permissions of this folder to allow other computer to read
or write in this folder. You can see that in the 2nd tab of the same window
(screen copy added).
My network had different computers mainly connected wireless. A "box" is
connected to Internet and play the DHCP server.
I don't understand well the hostname command... On the server workstation
hostname give the right name.
On the client workstation, I used "host 'nameofthe server'" and I get the right
IP adress of the server
