Windows network gone - I can no longer see it.

[Daniel Caleb]

Try the LMHOSTS method as well, that seems to tie up the holes in windows 
workgroup. I've noticed really erratic behavour with Windows networks, and 
I've never really figured out the tricks to it. 

Usually the way I get around in windows networks, and this is on a windows 
machine as well - not just from a *nix machine - is to use the IP address:

\\192.168.102.2\thesharename\somefolder

and as Christopher pointed out, smb:\\ is usually the protocol from a nix 
machine, which can also be done from a terminal. It's kind of clunky, but it 
works. I've also had fairly good success with smb4k.
