I gave up on trying to use samba; got rid of dual boot, installed Wine inside of Fedora12, (root~> yum install wine), and can access any file on hard-drive, including windows files using 'Applications>Wine->Wine File'. I've installed selected high-use WindowsXP-based executables using 'Wine Software Installer'. I have had no problems.
However, this may be the right solution for the wrong problem, and may not totally accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.

Reading my mind. I was just thinking this morning about switching my
server back to Mandriva 2009.

I've tried a variety of things but nothing seems to work.
Here's my setup.
Mandriva 2008 running SMB. Never had an issue with it. Everything
worked quite well. I had Mandriva 2009 on a laptop that worked, as well
as two Windows XP boxes. Recently got a new latop with Windows 7.
Installed Ubuntu 9.10 as duel boot (BTW... I *hate* GRUB2, what a PITA
compared to GRUB/Lilo). Windows 7 can see the shared fine. Ubuntu
cannot.
What does SMBClient -d //myserver return?
Regards,
Jeremy

I'm glad some one brought this up. I have 9.04
server and the same problem. Funny thing is that when I see the shares
my server name appears but it is really my laptop.

Hi,
This is the link I was talking about:
http://9w2tpt.blogspot.com/2009/11/samba-34ubuntu-910-problem.html
I did update the package, but I still have the issue. I'll continue to
investigate, although probably for a few days.
Good luck!

I think this is a known bug with the SMB package in
9.10. I have the same issue and have not resolved it. I'm away from my
computer, but I seem to recall reading about it.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on
connecting to a samba server from Ubuntu?
-------
I put an Ubuntu 9.10 Server into a Windows domain,
installed Samba, and shared it for people to read files. Set samba
permissions that everyone can see files and a specific samba user can
add/delete files.
From a windows machine, I can see the Ubuntu
samba server, view the files, and if I connect with the specific samba
user credentials, I can also add/delete files.
From an Ubuntu workstation I can see the server,
but I cannot see the share or the files.
Is there some package I need to install on the
Ubuntu 9.10 workstation in order to see and browse samba shares?
I want to be able to connect to the Ubuntu samba
server share from the Ubuntu workstation to browse and add/delete files
using the specific samba user account which I created on the Ubuntu
samba server.
Suggestions?
