Comment 1 for bug 104856

hi, i have the same problem, but i know how to live with it!

i will tell you what is hapenning to me so you can decide if it solves your problem

I have 3 computers in a wired-lan at my home. My PC with ubuntu and others with XP. Network Workgroup is perfectly configure in all machines but when i open the network place folder in the ubuntu pc i can´t see the others pcs. So i don´t have connectivity to my lan!!! which is not desirable

Trying and trying how to solve this problem i found a simple solution (is a little Annoying but works).... belive it or not, aparently ubuntu doens´t save the workgroup that you specified when you configured samba.

What i do it this, go to SYSTEM-ADMIN-NETWORK then go to the tab called GENERAL and write again your workgroup and the name of the computer, then save this with a name (could be Home or default) and then apply the changes and exit, after that you will be able to see all your network. after you reboot or powerdown you pc you will have the problem again, but this time you just have to go to SYSTEM-ADMIN-NETWORK and load the configuracion you saved before (called Home or default) and apply the changes again.

I dont know why is this happens ... but i know how to live with...
