This thing is a real problem and there must be a solution for that. every new Ubuntu computer I set up in our wrongly configured Windows network has connection problems. There is this msdn article which recommended setting up the network so lots of people are doing that. Can't there be some connection check after the installation which makes the user aware of the problem and tell him to fix his Network or go to compatibility mode where printers might not work ? this is something I would expect from user-friendly distribution with Ubuntu definitely is.
