Usually, I can browse the files shared on my Win2K server from my Kubuntu (fiesty) laptop via the samba client. I use the KDE "Remote Places" button in the bottom-left. But every now and then, seemingly at random, it fails to connect (that is to say, when I browse the "Samba Shares", none are listed).
The problem MAY start when I suspend and resume, but I don't do that often enough, and the problem doesn't show up often enough, to be sure that's causal. Oddly, it gets better if I restart X - I don't need to restart linux to get it working again.
What's the deal?? It's kind of a hassle to restart my X session if I want networking to work, and it seems odd that there would be a connection. Oh, I used zeroconf or whatever the automated detection thing is to get the samba shares going in the first place; sorry I don't remember details, but it was several weeks ago and it "just worked" at the time.
