hi! this is the first time i actually have to post a question here i usually always find the answer, so for that thx a LOT. anyway heres the problem:

the first time I installed ubuntu 5.10 Breezy badger all the shared folders from my other pc were automaticly in the "places" area. But i had to reinstall everything cuz i made a booboo with ubuntu lts for some reason my soundcard wasnt working. anyways NOW that nothing has changed and just had ubuntu 5.10 re-installed and upgraded all the way it wont see my xp shared files. wierd thing is i get my internet on dhcp and I can see the windows Networking but its empty instead and both pcs are conected to the dsl hub were they use to be befor the re-install.
what can i do?? re-install again and hope to god?

thx guys!!!

no you don't have to reinstall!
try 1st on a console #smbclient -L (ip-adress) like smbclient -L 192.168.1.200
check if there are any shares listed.

first off thnx for the help m8!!!

but no luck, this is what i get:

******************************************************
nin82@deciver:~$ smbclient -L 192.168.0.3
Error connecting to 192.168.0.3 (Connection refused)
Connection to 192.168.0.3 failed
nin82@deciver:~$ smbclient -L 201.107.49.38
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

******************************************************

first i tried with the windows ip and then mine just 4 the hell of it and thats what i get. i dont get on the first install i didnt even had to install samba everything was right there in "places". and nothing has changed on my network. then again its windows XPerimental, so i guess i better re-do the network huh? or is there something else i could do in linux?

thx m8!!

so I re-work the network under windows and now i got 2 networks showing under windows servers
one called inicioms and the other one mshome, but when i click in the it says it cant display everything... now i did what u told me to do before and i got somehing back:

nin82@deciver:~$ smbclient -L 192.168.1.20

what else can i do? now im out of ideas!

OMG i mount the drive and its there. didnt worked before! and i didnt had to do it the firts time!!!!-------->

Is that what you tried to get? Is it solved now?
Have you ever tried smb4k? Its a nice Samba Browser.
Or WinSCP (for windows) is also a great tool that lets you copy files from windows (ntfs) to ext3 filesystem and the other way around.

yeah pretty much i mean on the first install i didnt have to go through all that hassel, it was alredy there for me. i dont know what happen. and as for the other programs I will take a look at them. thanx for all ur help!

At the End your happy and thats the deal.
By the way. I don't think Samba was the fault.
Maybe Firewall on Windows or missing Folder & Printer Share Option or
any third Party Firewall like Norton or McAffee could have been the reason.

Here WinSCP : http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
and Smb4k : http://dag.wieers.com/packages/smb4k/
