[SWLUG] Samba networking problems

[Phillip Evans]

Hi All,

I am having problems networking with samba since "upgrading" kubuntu 
9.04 -> 9.1

Basically, I have a desktop, to which is attached a Brother laser 
printer, which was running 9.04 very successfully. I also have a Acer 
laptop running Vista (now upgraded to W7) and Linux Mint 7 (which I use 
most of the time). I had setup various shares on the desktop which I 
could access from the laptop using either OS without any problems. I did 
not need to do any special configuration of samba except specify the 
shares, it just worked out of the box. I could also access the laptop 
from the desktop but most of the time I needed to access the desktop 
from the laptop.

Since the upgrade to 9.1, I cannot get samba working as before, I can 
access the laptop from the desktop but the laptop will not see the 
desktop which is what I need.

Any help on this would be welcome, it is probably a simple item I have 
overlooked.

Below is a listing of the smb.conf file and /var/log/samba/samba - which 
is all warnings.
