The windows I'm getting now correspond to the note at the end of jonandrews' guide (and that I was getting last night, but not earlier today) but at the final click, I still get the error message.

Windows Network shows the one entry WORKGROUP.
WORKGROUP shows printer, Ubuntu machine, and laptop (WALT-NOTEBOOK)
But when I try to open WALT-NOTEBOOK I still getUnable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server
As you can see, I understand very little of the workings of this, but could there be a problem on the Windows side? Maybe there is something I failed to set up, which is causing the server there to malfunction. How can I check that out?
