I just posted another post about my digital camera but I am having issues configuring samba in hardy as well. My apartment has 3 networked computers (two vista, one Gutsy), and we have a server that stores all of our shared stuff. I can't see any of it any more (could with Gutsy). I don't remember if I had to do things to configure it properly or what. Here is my samba file:

The network doesn't have a password or username. Thanks all



[global]
; General server settings
netbios name = joel
server string =
workgroup = MSHOMEMMym
announce version = 5.0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

passdb backend = tdbsam
security = user
null passwords = true
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
name resolve order = hosts wins bcast

wins support = yes

I think your having the same problem as me. Can you actually see the networked computers but not anything thats shared on them?
Are you getting a blank nautilus window?
Can you see your shares using Konqueror?

I can't see the computers at all. I used to be able to see everything with no problem but really don't remember how I got it set up. Let me know if you make any progress.

solved:

I made a really basic samba file:

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

I deleted everything and just put this:

[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = UBUNTU
[share1]
path = /media/shared/lan
[share2]
path = /media/shared/music
comment = Some random files
