Thanks for getting back to me. Here is some additional information: I'm using an upgraded Lucid install, trying to access the workgroup in the same machine at this stage.
I had the same problem in (another) Karmic install, but fixed it by installing system-config-samba and re-setting the password for my user. I do not recall setting a password, and the password was not any that I remember using for any purpose. I don't know what it was, but I could reset it. For some reason that doesn't work in Lucid. Trying to reset fails, the old password reappears when I query again in s-c-samba. Here is some of the information requested in the Wiki: dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' grep samba grep 2.5.4-4 install ok installed samba 2:3.4.3-1ubuntu1 install ok installed s...@sc-laptop:~$ smbclient //workgroup/joana-pc Enter sc's password: Connection to workgroup failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL) s...@sc-laptop:~$ testparm -s Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[print$]" Loaded services file OK.
