Comment 26 for bug 195308

I had this problem on a new install of Ubuntu 8.04 The default workgroup name had to be adjusted which gave me access from the windows machines on the network but then I could not install GStreamer codecs. I chanced upon this page and learned a lot. Thanks.

JP-NYCs fix worked for me 'though I was a bit perplexed by the / before the hostname. I left it out and it appears to work fine now.
