Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Problem: Intrepid cannot access Samba/Windows Network Shares through the wireless connection.
How to Replicate: Disconnect ethernet. Connect to Windows network via wireless. Browse in Nautilus to Windows Network: nothing. Now, type
#sudo smbtree
nothing.
Connect ethernet jack. Ethernet and wireless block each other's access to the network (bug 243154). Therefore, disable wireless. Now, #sudo smbtree again. There's your network.
"Workaround": Only use wired connections for Windows shares.
I've tested this on three different wireless router/access points on two entirely different networks, one which was network with a Samba-based domain controller and another which was a Windows workgroup configuration.
