Xubuntu 9.04 network browsing problems

[Sn00zE]

Hi guys,
I seem to have a little bit of a problem with Xubuntu and browsing my network shares!
Xubuntu does not seem to find any of my shares on the network, i cant browse any shares.. Does anyone know of a fix or am i just doing it wrong somehow.

Remote file Systems does not automatically pick up any shares on the network, it does not see any of the other computers on the network.

Is this a common problem?

There won't be a difference between using Xfce, KDE4 or Gnome... so chances are you have a problem with your setup. Have you installed Samba? Firewall issues maybe? I know that 9.04 does come out with a firewall...

Try to test via cli:

samba -L //<servername>/share -U <username> -W <domain/workgroup>

It should prompt for your network password, and then list the shares on that server/PC.
If this work, make sure that you specified the correct domain, etc in your smb.conf file.
Find your smb.conf file like this:

find /etc -name smb.conf -print
