can't access win 7 pro network shares from 18.04
I can see the network identified as "Windows network" but when I click on the icon "File is empty" is displayed. I can also see the network displayed under Networks (as Windows Network), with the same result "File is empty". All was ok on 16.04 until I updated. How do I fix this in 18.04?
I have been digging further into this issue, while I can access the internet ok using Netgear A6210 USB wifi stick, I don't have access to the windows network. I have a Epson printer with sd card and usb ports fitted which is on the wifi and worked with 18.04 until I tested the card port directly by connecting to the printer via the USB port. Now I cannot print from Ubuntu via wifi. I have successfully created 2 shared folders, user restricted on a separate HDD which I can see from the Windows machines but cannot log in even with the user passwords I have set. I still cannot gain access to the Windows network from ubuntu as it is asking for a network password, I never set or have one on the Windows network so I suspect that this is asking for the ubuntu network password but i don't remember setting one and I have tried my ubuntu login and my windows login but all fails. My workgroup is set as WORKGROUP.Heree is the dump of /etc/samba/smb.conf file after I have used testparm

[linux share]

I now notice I have only one linux share listed, how do I add 2 off?
1 Jan 2019. Totally removed Netgear A6210 USB WiFi as each Linux update overwrote the setup. I reinstalled the PCI Wifi card and all runs well.
7 Jan, 2019. I have removed the windows network password requirement from the Win 7 Pro PC and have access from that PC. Interestingly, the Win 7 Home Premium PC needs a Network password, but gives me access across the network, but I still cannot access the Windows network from the Linux machine. Under Windows Network Properties, I get "The permissions of Windows Network could not be determined." I have tried turning off the AVS ESET package on Win 7 Pro but makes no difference.
Thank you.
