I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and am getting the following error when I attempt to access the HADEN workgroup on my Windows network via Samba:

Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server.

I ran the following command:

peterv@MBP17U:~$ findsmb
sh: /usr/bin/nmblookup: not found

*=DMB
+=LMB
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
---------------------------------------------------------------------

My smb.conf file is listed below, just in case that'd help with debugging:


peterv@MBP17U:/etc/samba$ cat -n smb.conf
1 #
2 # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
3 #
4 #
5 # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
6 # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
7 # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
8 # are not shown in this example
9 #
10 # Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
11 # commented-out examples in this file.
12 # - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
13 # differs from the default Samba behaviour
14 # - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
15 # behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
16 # enough to be mentioned here
17 #
18 # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
19 # "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
20 # errors.
21 # A well-established practice is to name the original file
22 # "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with
23 # testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf
24 # This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
25 # which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance
26 # However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested
27 # "include" statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case
28 # where using a master file is not a good idea.

The segment hilighted in red at the bottom is what I can see in the Windows network neighborhood.

I've installed Samba version 3.4.0

On my Windows XP machine, I can see the Ubuntu directory and can access files on it. I just can't access the Windows workgroup from Ubuntu. Can anyone please help?
