Question #243566 on samba in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/243566

Description changed to:
Home Folder Browse Network Windows Network shows Unable to mount location after updates. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS did updates this morning for new flashplayer update, but now on both of my 12.04 LTS machines (both updated) I don't see my Samba shares, they work fine under Windows XP Pro and other video players on my network. I just can't get to them via Ubuntu 12.04 LTS anymore.
Also is there a way to get off this fast track of screw ups rather than updates? I see a number of 'updates' weekly and over the last two months I'm still fighting the NVidia problem (doesn't work except with X11 defaulted) and samba (client side) is now not working. Can I get the flashplayer update without killing the otherwise working systems?
Rebooting is not the answer, I tried that on my other system when it first started Wednesday, it still doesn't work from Ubuntu, I had to use SFTP from Windows to copy files in instead of normal samba (Windows Network). 
Just checked my one older Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and it's doing the same thing! What happened this week? All my Ubuntu systems won't see shares and everything else does!
As far as I know there are no firewalls setup on the Ubuntu, and Samba has mostly been working for the last 5 years (8.04 LTS, 10.04 LST, and now 12.04 LTS). I'm behind the standared hardware firewalls and using WEP so I don't use internal firewalls so my players will work (WDTVLive, XBMC and others).
