Question #251775 on samba in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/251775

    Status: Needs information => Open

S.S.Mani gave more information on the question:
Yes, I see other systems. The networked wireless printer does not appear in
it, but other printers appear

In the mean time, on my own I changed the entire smb.conf file to its
original format using the first time saved version ,as I might have changed
very many parameters while learning these things. Of course even before as
well as before this restoration, i have been seeing it all.  Now I have
changed only MSHOME inplace of WORKGROUP and rest are default parameters.

The reason why opted for this is:

When i started about a month back, I was able to mount all network shared
directories using SMB4K, though other computers were not seeing my kubuntu.

Since all attempts to solve the issue did not help, I un-installed using os
installer, reinstalled kubuntu 14.04 LTS.

However after that i became a little more bolder and hence attempted many
things, in the bargain probably changing some values, i should not have ( i
have no records of what i did). When today i used SMB4k again, it failed!

Hence i decided to go for the original saved version of smb.conf file.Now
SMB4k is working!

With my limited understanding i think i am doing something wrong in
'mounting' whatever it is supposed to mean!

I have retained a new folder created by me called documents, which i have
shared, in addition to making Documents also shared.

However on 15th July when when i checked one of my networked computer while
continuing with my experiments, my kubuntu had appeared there, but it said
it cant be accessed! Around that time, my new shared documents folder got
some new icons, with names, IA64, W32ALPHA, W32MIPS, W32PPS, W32X86, WIN40,
AND x64! I wonder whether these are the networked computers in any way!

Now I think I am with a clean slate to follow instructions i get from you,
hoping that i understand them!

thank you for your time again

Mani
