I have two 12.04 machines, one of which was not able to connect to a shared folder in the other.
The problem was solved when on the server side I added myself as one of the users of Samba (I of course already had a user account on the server): smbpasswd -a myUsername I also gave the password that I already was using. There was no need to restart: service smb restart The connection started to work in a minute or two.
