Thank you for the replies!
I tried the method in the article to no avail; as this is what my work group name was set to before. I even checked my laptop to make sure the work group was indeed named WORKGROUP (Windows default).
Here are the outputs of the commands:
Code:
maverick@maverick-N68S3:~$ testparm -s

I have iTunes installed on my Win 8 laptop. It was one of the first things I installed when I got it, so I could access 12.04 for some time with it installed until the issue arose. No Safari. Thank you for the clarification on netbios and hostnames; I had seen banter about that in another thread but couldn't really grasp it.
Thanks again!
