i don't mount windows shares, on gigolo's web page, there instructions follow (esp. make sure have gvfs-fuse , fuse-utils installed). see: http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/help.html...ce-4-4-and-4-6. know reference 4.4 & 4.6, might helpful nonetheless.

to connect xubuntu shares need have samba installed on xubuntu - (from command line)
code:
sudo apt-get install samba
(or search samba in software centre), , you'll need edit file - /etc/samba/smb.conf. have @ documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/sa...n%20-%20manual more detailed information , instructions.
