I have 3 machines on my network of which 2 were running 7.10 Gutsy and
one running Windows XP Pro. With Samba installed and configured on the
Ubuntu machines it was possible using 'Places > Network' to see the
shares on both the other Ubuntu and the Windows machine.
Both Ubuntu machines were then upgraded to 8.04 Hardy and since the
upgrade I can only see the shares on the other Ubuntu machine with this
method, I cannot see the shares on the XP machine.
However if I click 'Places' then 'Connect to Server' and enter the full
share name for the Windows computer e.g. 'XPmachine/shareddocs' then
enter the password for the Windows machine and click 'Connect' the
Windows shares appear mounted on the desktop and I then have full
read/write access. This is, however, relatively inconvenient.
I subsequently added a fourth machine to the network and installed
Intrepid 8.10 on it just for test purposes and I can confirm that this
machine had the same problem as the Hardy machines. Then I installed
Gutsy on it again just to make sure that I could see the Windows shares
via 'Places > Network', which I can.
