I have ubuntu 8.04 and I can no longer mount shared folders on windows machines on my lan
This used to work under 7.04
I am certain about a proper login & password
I can "see" the machines
Places > network > windows Network
and i see wORKGROUP ( so far so good )
I can go into Workgroup - i can 'see' a given machine
and if I click on one of those - I can "see" the shares
If i clck on a share i get a login passwd challenge ( here is where things go wrong )
I enter USERNAME & Password and get a
Unable to Mount location
Failed to mount windows share
It seems like the auth is diffrent or something... dunno ( but i used to work) note i can still Mount my ( local attched NTFS , w NTFS conf tool ) win drive -- but that is a very diffrent situation.
How can I get to those windows shares?
Thanks!
