In current updated Ubuntu Hardy,

On connect to Windows Shares Server, an error box pops up that says
"Can't display location...The specified location is not mounted."  But
whoops, there it was, right on the desktop, no problem showing the
shares.  Lucky, my settings are to show mounted deviices.  Otherwise,
I'd believe the message.

Thank goodness for Connect to Server.  The Network icon in Places can't
detect the Windows Share Server at all!  But it does detect my Ubuntu PC
in a separate "WORKGROUP".  Using Configuration Editor to change the
value of /System/smb to the same name as Windows Workgroup in order to
join it, didn't change a thing.

For now I have bookmarked the location, and rely on that to get over to the 
Windows Share Server.
Thanks for your kind attention.   If you know where to find the fix mentioned 
above, please point me to it.
