Comment 26 for bug 456808

Well I'm having the same problem with Samba; loaded on an Ubuntu-server, trying to connect to a windows 7 netbook and a Kubuntu desktop machine. This was setup and worked until recently. Now I have no connection to my Windows 7 netbook. My Kubuntu machine connects to the server via a very reliable NFS connection.
I've cleared IP tables on the server, wrote a new smb.conf file and re-installed samba all without any connection. findsmb shows nothing from my kubu machine but running (on the server) smbclient -L shows shares listed on the server. Testparm the smb.conf with no errors - clients simply do not see the smb server!!

I'd just like to say to emarkay; I understand your frustration BUT these guys do a great job! slagging them off openly here is not fair to them!
