Have had this issue for a while and believe it started for me when updating to 12.10. Have been mucking around a lot this morning and when making coffee it just started to work again. Not sure what is the root cause is yet but have done the following. I started with the theory that the fact I cannot browse via SMB to my NAS is the problem. - I installed cifs-utils - I edited /etc/samba/smb.conf. Here I changed the 'WORKGROUP' to a friendly name and I changed the search order to start with bcast. - I edited /etc/nsswitch.conf to include wins - I disabled GUFW - I have long had this issue with Avahi (http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAndUnicastDotLocal). I changed the domain name here to the friendly workgroup name from smb.conf. (These ideas from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149) -I have an old script that mount my NAS share via gfvs command that runs at logon. The backup now running is against one of these shares. -I manually mounted another share via mount.cifs - Have tried to understand the authentication issues I seem to have with SMB by following BAB1s advice looking at smbclient -d3
Somewhere in this mess lies my answer as it is now running again.
