When i first install ubuntu 10.10 the other day my entire windows shared network was visible and accessible through places/network ect.
i only had an issue creating a link. which someone from here helped me with ( thank you).
Now , for some reason i can no longer see the other windows comp or any of its folders but i can see my sons laptop ( running vista) . obviously i still have access to the network and i have checked the sharing settings on the windows machine. all is good.
