Thierry, Sorry for the incomplete information - I'm new to this bug reporting business.
Since submitting the fault report, I found that it wasn't a problem with samba after all. I have a desktop computer running Ubuntu that has some printers connected and 4 laptop computers, 2 of which run windows XP and 2 with vista. I use samba to backup laptop files to the Ubuntu box and for sharing the printers to the laptops. Prior to upgrading to 10.04, I could see the laptops via the Places-Network-Windows Network. After the upgrade, the Windows network was showing as empty. After sending the error report, I found that I could connect to the other laptops using Places-Connect to Server then in the dialogue box typing in the name of the laptop. I can also access the computer using firefox by typing the IP address as smb://ww.xx.yy.zz. I sorted the problem out by following advice shown in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028321 in particular, I changed smb.conf as shown here: "MOST IMPORTANT I change the way the priority for name resolution work for samba: name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast" It was originally in there as: name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast I restarted samba using restart smbd and everything was working. I am assuming that the smb.conf file was changed during the upgrade to 10.04 as everything was working beforehand. Apologies for mis-filing the bug, but I hope it will be of use to others who may have a similar problem.
