Are the samba daemons nbd and smbd running? Did you make any changes or updates to either computer?

Type this into a terminal and post the results:

Code:

ps -A | grep mbd

i restarted samba but no success i also typed the command ps -A i grep mbd it just goes to search results and shows computer and internet with no results.

If there is no output from the ps command as posted above then samba is not running.

Look at the log files in /var/log/samba/ and check log.nmbd and log.smbd. You must be root to access the files.
