Please try the following which I found worked for 9.04. Install winbind.
sudo apt-get install winbind Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf Look for the line... hosts: files (etc) If yours is like mine was when it didn't work, it'll read something like: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 ..although what is there will vary but files and dns will be there. What is missing is an entry for wins. You need to add wins after files so it looks like (alter as required): hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 Save the file and reboot. Please post your findings. -- smb password protected share cannot be accessed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
