Sean,
If you don't want to deal with command line typing, check out webmin package.
Cheers

It now works, and I do not know how or why.
This is a major problem. I can not easily recommend a system that does
not have a easy way to hook up to other house hold computers.
You say solved, and after changing that file, rebooting server and PC a
few times, it did work.
Still, what a mess for anyone, as just a month ago I was trying nearly
everything and did not find your article.
There are many puzzled noob Ubuntu users with this problem out there.
Have mercy, or just give up the idea that Ubuntu is easy to use.
Is there anyway that you can use a program (windows speak= wizard) that
would configure this itself?
Maybe one that can use the info in the windows wizard generated files to
configure every machine on the local net?

You understand that the outstanding bug here is about the clarity of
the
error message only? lanman authentication is still insecure, and
won't
be re-enabled by default; if your goal is to actually connect to
servers
requiring lanman authentication, you will have to reconfigure your
/etc/samba/smb.conf by hand.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I just updated Ubuntu 8.04.
Whenever I make a connection to the Window share, I got this error
dialog:
Unable to mount location
Failed to mount Windows share
With and OK button.
ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
Date: Sun Mar 30 21:19:59 2008
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
Package: nautilus 1:2.22.1-0ubuntu1
PackageArchitecture: i386
ProcEnviron:
PATH=/home/username/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: nautilus
Uname: Linux 2.6.24-12-generic i686
TEST CASE:
1) install the samba package
2) configure 'security = share' and 'lanman auth = yes' in the
[globals] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf
3) add a user account to the server (e.g., with 'sudo adduser
user')
4) set a password for this (insecure!) account with 'sudo smbpasswd
user'
5) add a share which points to this user, e.g.:
[user]
comment = Test share
path = /home/user
writable = yes
guest ok = no
user = user
6) with the hardy version of the libsmbclient package installed,
test the following:
a) smbclient //localhost/user
should return
Server not using user level security and no password supplied.
Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but
'client use lanman auth' is disabled
b) nautilus smb://localhost/user
should prompt for a password, and, even when entered
correctly, return
Couldn't display smb://localhost/user
Error: Failed to mount Windows share
Please select another viewer and try again.
7) install the libsmbclient package from hardy-proposed
8) both of the above two tests should now succeed
9) set 'client lanman auth = no' in /etc/samba/smb.conf
10) confirm that both of the above tests again fail when the config
is overridden
