Hello lynton2,
In order to share a drive, it has to appear in fstab. Meaning, you'll have to create a hard mount in /etc/fstab for your usb drive. Once you've done that, then you'll have the...

There is a specific fix related to this error listed under "Problem 5".
It looks complicated because:
It is an omnibus tutorial which was created to provide fixes for more than one common NetBIOS resolution problem.
It's wordy because I took a lot of time...
Sorry for the delay. If you still have not solved this, I assume you are using wireless and have to log in before you can connect to the internet.
In that case, you're better off using automount...
In "Problem 3 - Part 2", my tutorial mentions that you need to install winbind for name resolution. Winbind is (among other things) a wins server. If you have a Windows machine on the network, then...
First, on all of your Ubuntu boxes, run this command:
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Then, have a look at this post for troubleshooting options: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149
Due to recent changes in the samba packages, the prework section is a little out of date.
Instead of
sudo apt-get install smbfs
It should now read:
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Lots of really great information there, but I'm still having problems. According to /var/log/Xorg.0.log my TV is sending some information to the video card, but it doesn't include the desired...

With what message does halt halt? Have you tried using the verbose switch to see comments?
I had a Dapper box ages ago with this problem and it had to do with how halt talked to the BIOS. Don't...
Sounds like you have a video driver issue. Have you tried looking at your restricted drivers to see if you can install an Nvidia or ATI driver (depending on your video card)?
Back in the 90's, politically correct pundits pushed for moving the US away from the center of world maps placed in public schools in the US because they felt that it was offensive to other countries...

Adding your Ubuntu username and password to the Windows computer, and then including it in the allowed users for the public share should fix this problem.

I think Ubuntu's meteoric rise attracted too many trolls, and in part they have been successful in their attempts to socially paint Ubuntu in a negative light. Unity was not a mistake for Ubuntu, it...
This is a common mistake. Please refer to man smb.conf where it says:

Are you using a TUN or a TAP device to handle your VPN connection?
Edit to add more information.

TUN -> Routing
As bridging is more complicated to configure, most home OpenVPN...
Do you have anything in /var/log/auth.log regarding ssh?
Try connecting with the fully qualified domain like so:

I think this solution would be fine if you wanted your Ubuntu machine to be reachable (via netbios name resolution) from other machines, but it could help for your Ubuntu machine to reach the other...
