Failed to retrieve share list from server.

Barefruits is simply working normally. It's kicking the logon because it's not Android.

Secondly you should consider ad hoc (default reserved for administrator maintenance) 169..x.x.x address range for the WIFI connections you wish to isolate from the web running Windows. You can directly connect them via WIFI then without running through your ISP or a router. The range is shorter but fine at 50feet in most cases. Windows won't tell you the address range is there but it is. You must set it up as an administrator from the command line in Windows. Linux will find the connection. Windows uses the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) Windows reserved range of IPv4 addresses (169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254) for its basic network manager auto-configure DHCP functionality. Basically these addresses are simply client fall back IP addresses included in Windows ARP to allow IP addresses to be assigned for connectivity when DHCP fails on a remote server, or for some reason on a Windows client. Tjhe only minor nuisance is that after using these addresses for connections to a Windows machine you must re-enable DHCP if you wish to connect the machine to the Internet again via WIFI.

Thanks for the info Trinidad,

I would love to isolate all but one of my computers from the Internet.  At least for the majority of the time.  I do use the "apt-get install" function on the linux machines quite often so I would need to be able to have Internet access for that.  But other than that my robots do not need access to the Internet and I would actually prefer if they were totally isolate from the Internet.

In fact, here's a question for you.

Could I disconnect my Netgear router from the verizon router entirely and run it as a "stand alone" WiFi connection for my robots so that it's not connected to the Internet at all?

I only need the WiFi for the robots.  I don't need the Internet.  I could always logon to the Verizon router if I need to download something from the Internet.  I've been meaning to look into this.  Now's the time to actually do it.

You certainly can network together ad hoc WIFI any machines you want to, Linux or Windows, and still be able to easily connect to the Internet via WIFI on the Linux machines. It's two different connections in NM on Linux. Turn them on and off with NM whichever you want to use at the time. Read through some of my old tutorials on this forum and you should be able to figure out a network set up that will be convenient for you.You do not need the router for ad hoc. Uses no DHCP. Just leave it how you have it and set up your ad hocs.

hint: Linux addr convention will be 10.xx.xx.xx Windows will be 169.xx.xx.xx

Are you saying that I can just have the computers talk directly to each other using WiFi without using any router at all? 

I didn't know that. 

I don't know what you mean by "ad hocs".  I'll read your tutorials.  It sounds quite interesting.

Yes sir you can.
