[SOLVED] Seeing WIndows Network Computers on RaspPi 2 B install

Support & Help Requests
1

I have just installed the RaspPi 2 version of Ubuntu Mate and the file manager sees Windows Network when I browse the network but no windows computers or networked drive is shown. I have edited the smb.conf file to have the correct workgroup name. The network is through a wired router. Internet works. The networked printer works. What do I need to do to see and access the other computers on the network on the UbuntuMate install?

I have not set up any shares on the UbuntuMate so I do not expect to see Ubuntu on the other pcs network window, but I would like to be able to have UbuntuMate access the shared folders and drives on those PCs.

Thank you in advance. Any help appreciated.

I followed this tutorial -
http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/configure-samba-sharing-between-ubuntu.html

I cannot get Samba GUI to open - as I have asked about on another thread, but if you install caja-share you can create shared files on the Ubuntu side with Caja. This puts a share folder option into the caja folder right click menu.
