Thierry,
Sorry for the incomplete information - I'm new to this bug reporting
business.
Since submitting the fault report, I found that it wasn't a problem with
samba after all.
I have a desktop computer running Ubuntu that has some printers
connected and 4 laptop computers, 2 of which run windows XP and 2 with
vista. I use samba to backup laptop files to the Ubuntu box and for
sharing the printers to the laptops.
Prior to upgrading to 10.04, I could see the laptops via the
Places-Network-Windows Network.
After the upgrade, the Windows network was showing as empty.
After sending the error report, I found that I could connect to the
other laptops using Places-Connect to Server then in the dialogue box
typing in the name of the laptop. I can also access the computer using
firefox by typing the IP address as smb://ww.xx.yy.zz.
I sorted the problem out by following advice shown in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028321
in particular, I changed smb.conf as shown here:
MOST IMPORTANT I change the way the priority for name resolution work
for samba:
name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast
It was originally in there as:
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
I restarted samba using restart smbd and everything was working.
I am assuming that the smb.conf file was changed during the upgrade to
10.04 as everything was working beforehand.
Apologies for mis-filing the bug, but I hope it will be of use to others
who may have a similar problem.
Regards,
Wayne

Could you check the status of the samba daemons:
$ sudo status nmbd
$ sudo status smbd
Please describe your scenario in more detail (samba is not working is
not enough, given how many different uses of samba are possible). Are
you sharing folders on workstations ? Setting up a samba file server ?
Accessing remotely-shared folders ?
Based on that, please provide the info requested at:
