From the file browser, we can see other users on our mostly-windows network. But, when opening files on our new intrepid installation, the network does not show up.
Did some research, and found that the solution involves a thing called FuseSmb.
Followed the instructions on this page:

One difference: did not see the option in intrepid to "tag 'allow use of fusesmb'", so "Mount user-space filesystems (FUSE)" was checked instead. (That's the same thing...isn't it?)
After rebooting, the network was still not visible from within applications. I noticed that "Mount user-space filesystems (FUSE)" for root was unchecked again, so I re-checked it. Hmm.
Then I manually entered the command: fusesmb /media/network (with a sudo) in the terminal.
After this, the network was visible from an application where it wasn't visible before. However, when I tried to select it, I got a "Permission denied".
Aaargh! Can someone help me hack my way out of this thicket?
I.
