    I have the same problem. Reinstalled xubuntu 2 times and re-done the procedure. I can use pyNeighborhood.
    Any hints?

    Thx, this works like a charm!

    I've added it to the Dutch Ubuntu Wiki:

    1) In XFCE's Applications -> System -> Shared Folders. (This should trigger a Samba install if you don't already have a share, and it should allow you to define the proper workgroup)

    2) Install fusesmb in Synaptic (from Universe repository)

    3) Edit /etc/modules and add the word 'fuse' to the modules list to be loaded (without quotes), and save the file.

    4) Reboot, so the fuse module loads, and the proper workgroup is read for samba.

    5) In XFCE Applications -> System -> Users and Groups... Properties of your username... User Priveleges Tab... check "Allow use of fuse file systems..."

    6) Create a directory that you are going to mount your network browse to... I used /media/network. Change permissions to read / write for group and others (777).

    *** 6.5) In a terminal, type: sudo chown <username>:fuse /media/network
    (Where <username> is your user account logon name)

    *** 6.6) Double check that the permission to use fuse took. Applications -> System -> Users and Groups... Manage Groups... find fuse and choose properties. Make sure your user name account is in that group and check-marked.

    *** 6.7) Reboot the system and triple check with step 6.6

    7) In XFCE Applications -> Settings -> Autostarted Applications... Add an application... name and describe as you wish... for command line, put: fusesmb /media/network (Or whatever mountoint you created).

    8) Open Thunar, and navigate to the parent folder of your mountpoint... then drag the 'mounpoint folder' to the places (shortcut) pane of thunar.

    9) Logout and log back in (So the user privilege and fusesmb autostart will take affect)

    *** Added steps to help prevent some access denied issues some people have been experiencing with fusesmb.

    My original thread on this topic is here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300310

    I hope this helps my fellow Xubuntu users... and I also hope that the Xubuntu team somehow enables something similar by default, or at least as an install option.

    Wow! Thank you so much. I guess one of the drawbacks of Xubuntu is its very lightness. So one has to add the components as needed, and that takes some sophistiation. As a noob, I really appreciate the help. Worked like a charm.

    Re: How to: Xubuntu - Thunar Native Windows Network Browsing

    For some reason it worked like a charm the first time, but after shutting down and restarting I get a "permission denied" when trying to access /media/network, and, although I can see the architecture of the Windows computer on the network, when I try to connect to a folder I get "Failed to open directory {NAME}, Connection timed out. When I open Thunar under my login I see the Network folder, but if I open Thunar as root, or if I navigate to /media/network from terminal, the file doesn't exist. I think something has happened to cancel the fuse after the reboot, but I'm a noob and can't figure it out. All help appreciated!!!

    yea see above...

    a lot of people have been experiencing this very problem. I don't know why it is happening, nor have i found any type of solution to it.

    Did NADA for me. Any other ideas?? I'm left with a folder: "network" under a directory: "media" that I can see with Thunar as my logon, but not as root!!!!!

    Hard to fathom. I can't delete the directory network either.
