Did you try the Windows username and password ??

What version of windows are you running on the PC you want to connect to?

I think it's a sharing issue on the windows.

im running windows 7, you may be right, i havnt changed any share settings on the computer i want to connect to other than sharing it in a home group and sharing all drives, but ive never found anything like "remote desktop". i also dont know where to find my domain.

ive tried the windows username and password, dosnt work.

Ok, if GUI is not working just try the terminal (we may get some relevant error logs):

## List the shares
smbclient -L <windows-ip> -U<windows-user>%<user-passwd>

## Access the shares
smbclient //<windows-ip>/<share-name> U<windows-user>%<user-passwd>

sorry, i dont get it. for 1 i don't use a password for my windows machine, my ip is 192.168.2.101 and the username is just Aussie, would the command sound like this:

smbclient -L 192.168.2.101 -U Aussie

because that takes me nowhere (aussie: Not enough '\' characters in service
)

When you press ENTER with this command, does it asks for a password ??
If it asks for one, just press ENTER again

Or simply type the command without password

smbclient -L 192.168.2.101 -U Aussie%

ok this time (i thought i had to do it under the sudo su thingy) it wrote:

See if Comment #14 works for you :-
1. Open nautilus
2. Press ctrl+l, then type smb://<windows-ip>. Press ENTER
3. Then provide username and empty password when it prompts for one
