[Bug 252245] Re: unable to connect to windows network pc's

[Baditaflorin]

2012-05-05 and we still have this problem. Clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 . 
I tried first with the upgrade but it did not work. 

We will never in a milion years pass bug 1# if we can allow users to
interact with windows in the first place.

Title:
  unable to connect to windows network pc's

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  *****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!

  ***** End Edit *****

  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!
