Accessing Windows Shared Folders

[Lynn Ziegler]

I have exactly tlhe same problem. 7.10 worked perfectly, 8.04 will not
connect to my shares at all. (My shares were without user/password under
7.10 and worked fine.) In fact, when I boot 7.10 from the DVD the shares
work fine from there too, but will not work from 8.04.

I have had a question about this up for about a week and have received no
useful help.
