OK, after much reading and doing and undoing, I still cannot connect to windows (xp) server shares from Hardy but, I can from Feisty (laptop).
I have tried
1-Add the following line to /etc/samba/smb.conf:
client lanman auth = yes
2-installed gnome-vfs package
3- remove and re-install samba and samba-common and smbclient
using --purge
4- installed smbfs
5- uninstalling SAMBA and replacing my 'smb.conf' with 'maintainer version'.
Only way to view the windows server shares:
1-typing in the server/share name in the address bar
2-adding a (symlink?) under Places-> Connect to Server-> Windows Share
Does anyone have an exact solution please. I thought this would have been resolved by now or a solid workaround put in place.
Now there was an update just yesterday 6/5/08 (June 5th) for samba and it asked me if I wanted to keep the old file and I said yes.
helllllllllllp.... as I fall down a cliff clinging to my laptop because it's the only one that work as it should... Hardy? hmmm. not pleased with the result of this issue.
