Hi, You could always try connecting via the command line. I'm not sure of the current state of Ubuntu Samba package names, but generally, commands like mount.cifs are available from packages like samba-client. You should also be able to browse Samba shares with commands like smbclient -L //remotehost -U username The intermittent nature of the problem makes me wonder if there are network issues such as a relatively distant wireless router.
