Hi guys

My network (smb) shares have stopped working after the last updates. No
computer can see the others via the network it seems. Main comp is 8.04 and
others still 7.10. One of the 7.10 pc's cann at least see the network name
from my router and displays an error akin to folder contents can not be
displayed when clicking the windows network icon. This one only shows
a "windows network" and nothing beyond. No errors just empty folder and no
pc's or networks. The 8.10 pc does this later trick as well. Any ideas?. btw,
all pc's updated the other day so I'm guessing something to do with the
updates

I've had so many problems of late with standard samba shares (7.10 -
8.04) that I simply don't try the "browse the network" thing anymore.
Instead I just use the location bar and:

smb//ipaddress-or-machinename/

and once connected I make sure to bookmark the link (Bookmarks|Add
Bookmark) and then just use the bookmark instead.

Thx. That got me there for now. Interestingly the computer names are not
working but the network addresses are which seems odd to me at least
