Another one to try is:

If you want to share files so that they can be written as well as read
(you probably do), it's important to make sure that the user IDs you
have on both machines are the same. If you add the accounts in the same
order on both machines, you should get the same UIDs. Alternatively you
could use something like NIS or LDAP to have network-wide identities,
but that's probably overkill for what you need.
