Here is the situation. I have a fresh install of 8.04 on a Thinkpad T60 (2.0 core 2, 1gb ram, ATIx1300). I was running 6.04 since it came out, and I was long overdue for a dist. upgrade. The install went smoothly, no issues or complications. I overwrote my old install, not keeping any of the files from before. My biggest concern was whether or not the wireless would work. I spent endless hours working on 6.04 getting it to work. Well, the wireless worked out of the box, I didn't have to do a single thing! That was a big and welcome surprise. I went through all the updates and those all went smoothly.
My troubles came when I tried to connect to my SMB shares and VNC into my server (also 8.04). I had no troubles in 6.04 accessing my shares or using vncviewer to graphically manage my server. My fiance can access the SMB shares without an issuE (using a MacBook). I can not locate the SMB shares and VNC refuses to connect. If I browse my network, I can see the server, but it will not connect.
Can anyone give me some direction to start troubleshooting?
