smb4k failing to connect to windows workgroup
 

Ok basically the subject says it all, it did work...but somewhere along the line it has stopped working...i have tried disabling the firewall on the windows computer and removing all VNC server software...to no effect. i am trying to get it working so that i can use turboprint to get my printer working....its not supported by linux modules :(.
could it be shorewall/firewalls on my linux laptop?!?!

oh btw...it will only read the windows groups if u plug in the ip of the windows machine..?!!? if thats of any help
