Hello,

I have had this problem for a long time and over easter I wanted to try and solve it.

I have a home lan with a mix of Linux and windows computers.
The windows PC have no issue with browsing the lan and you can "see" both the windows and linux PC. I also have two networked printers and these work fine from both the linux and Windows PC

On mu Ubuntu PC I can mount shares from a Lacie network drive vis FSTAB with no problems.

When I try and browse the lan to "see" the workgroup PCs from the Ubuntu PC I get a request for a password and nothing will work.

I have tried to edit SMB.conf to not avail.

I have tried the standard smb.conf and not have a minimal one from SWAT.

I have also done a clean install using Mint and it has the same problme

Please help
