Strange connection issue with Windows Home Server 2011.

[MrDrizz]

Hi,
This seems, to me, a bit strange.

When I try to connect to my server, which is running Windows Home Server 2011, from my PC running 12.04 LTS, . I get

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

However, if I turn my Laptop on, which is running win7 and has the WHS2011 dashboard utility installed. Ubuntu is all of a sudden able to see and connect to the share folders on the server. I can then mount them. Now if I then turn off my laptop, the mounted folder will remain and I can use them but I cannot mount more folders.

so at present if I turn off my PC or reboot I have to also start the laptop so I can get my shared folders mounted again.

It's driving me crazy.

Thanks.
Mark.

I cannot believe this, 5 minutes after posting the message I find the solution.

Here is the tutorial:

I just used the server IP rather then MM.

Thanks for your time
