I forgot to mention, my client is 8.04 installed the day before yesterday. I don't know if this is related, but when I tried to mount the drive as CIFS (which worked before I upgraded to 8.04), I got the follwing error:
sudo mount -t cifs //media/hda1 /media/media-hda1 -o username=tward
[sudo] password for tward:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //media/hda1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
But using places->network and browsing worked fine.
