UBUNTU VERSION: 8.04.1
Ok, I used to be able to connect to shared files on my Windows pc's in the network (a Windows network) and transfer/print files. But now, when I go to Places > Network, I see "Windows Network" (as shown in attached pic), but when I enter it, nothing, not even a workgroup. No changes have been made to the network. I can ping other pc's in the network. I posted about this on Ubuntu Forums, and a user said he was having the same problem for about three weeks now AFTER AN UPDATE. He gave me a workaround, and it allows me to access the shared files, but I still can't print. The workaround can be found in detail at:

Can someone please help? Thanks a million! |
*****EDIT 2008-11-08 *****
I have now done a completely fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. For the first time or two, it seemed the problem was fixed. However, not long after that it came back. I have discovered something though: I plugged into a hardwired network connection, and it worked like a charm. But as soon as I unplugged the network cable and went back to using wireless, the problem came back. Therefore, I can conclude that the problem is _probably_ wifi related, and it is in Intrepid Ibex. If anyone else can confirm that they can get it to work with a hardwired network connection, we may be on to something here!
