NOTE: The following fix to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is as follows -- 
I only show part of the file with the fix:

#======================= Global Settings 
=====================================
[global]
#-----networkstation user login = Yes
netbios name = Ubuntu

# ----- Added below line Mon26May2008 ------
###allow hosts
client plaintext auth = Yes

#

Thanks -- Ted
PS -- someone could pass this information to the Ubuntu development 
warriors!!!
