Please note the edit I posted to the bug details! James
** Description changed: + *****EDIT 2008-11-08 ***** + + I have now done a completely fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. + For the first time or two, it seemed the problem was fixed. However, not + long after that it came back. I have discovered something though: I + plugged into a hardwired network connection, and it worked like a charm. + But as soon as I unplugged the network cable and went back to using + wireless, the problem came back. Therefore, I can conclude that the + problem is _probably_ wifi related, and it is in Intrepid Ibex. If + anyone else can confirm that they can get it to work with a hardwired + network connection, we may be on to something here! + + ***** End Edit ***** + UBUNTU VERSION: 8.04.1 Ok, I used to be able to connect to shared files on my Windows pc's in the network (a Windows network) and transfer/print files. But now, when I go to Places > Network, I see "Windows Network" (as shown in attached pic), but when I enter it, nothing, not even a workgroup. No changes have been made to the network. I can ping other pc's in the network. I posted about this on Ubuntu Forums, and a user said he was having the same problem for about three weeks now AFTER AN UPDATE. He gave me a workaround, and it allows me to access the shared files, but I still can't print. The workaround can be found in detail at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869514 Can someone please help?
