OK, after much reading and doing and undoing, I still cannot connect to windows (xp) server shares from Hardy but, I can from Feisty (laptop).

I have tried

1-Add the following line to /etc/samba/smb.conf:

client lanman auth = yes

2-installed gnome-vfs package

3- remove and re-install samba and samba-common and smbclient
using --purge

4- installed smbfs

5- uninstalling SAMBA and replacing my 'smb.conf' with 'maintainer version'.

Only way to view the windows server shares:

1-typing in the server/share name in the address bar

2-adding a (symlink?) under Places-> Connect to Server-> Windows Share

Does anyone have an exact solution please. I thought this would have been resolved by now or a solid workaround put in place.

Now there was an update just yesterday 6/5/08 (June 5th) for samba and it asked me if I wanted to keep the old file and I said yes.

helllllllllllp.... as I fall down a cliff clinging to my laptop because it's the only one that work as it should... Hardy? hmmm. not pleased with the result of this issue.
