There isn't any information in your post, what have you done to create this problem? Are you trying to access a system running Saucy when you get the message, are you trying to access another system running a different version? Are you trying to access a Windows system?

Yes, I am on 13.10. I have created shares, setup smb.config with the appropriate workgroup. The shares are on ntfs formatted drives which I have set up to to automount in fstab with group plugdev, created a samba user so I could make the shared folders a little more secure. I am also running a LAMP server and a DNS server both of which run just fine.

This happens when I try to open via browse network>windows network and it happens in both directions.

An added note, I have XBMC installed and am using the yatse app on my phone for a remote control and that doesn't even connect.

What's the output of:

smbtree

do you see a list of shares similar to this?

smbtree

Note: Willy is running 12.04, Dad-PC is running Windows 7, and Alexis is running Saucy, I used Nautilus to set the share on Alexis, which installed Samba, and set smb.conf as needed, the only thing I did was change the workgroup.

Are you sure samba is running? What is the output of:

ps ax | grep nmbd

and

ps ax | grep smbd

on the system I'm running right now, alexis in post #6 the out put of the above commands looks like this:

cariboo@alexis:~$ ps ax | grep nmbd
  992 ?        Ss     0:00 nmbd -D
 4059 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto nmbd
cariboo@alexis:~$ ps ax | grep smbd
