Hi folks,
I hope someone can help me. I recently updated from ubuntu 13 to ubuntu 14.
When I did this all of my windows shares stopped showing up in the networking section.
I had a play around with samba settings and followed the 'Howto: Fix Windows share browsing issues' thread.
I've followed every point on this thread and couldn't figure it out.
After getting frustrated and deciding I wanted to play with KDE anyway, I formatted and installed Kubuntu 14.04.
This install didn't even have samba installed.
So I've installed samba and it's running.
Yet still no windows shares.
I am also not running a firewall on anything and can ping the computers I want to connect to.
I'm not sure what data to post to help in figuring it out.
smbtree returns absolutely nothing.
smbtree -d4 returns

Code:# # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux. # # # This is the main Samba configuration file.

Any ideas would be fantastic
