To keep a long story short, I was trying to use Wireshark on Ubuntu 
12.04. (Keeping the story short, I won't go into why I wanted to use 
it.) When I started it up it said "No interface can be used ... See 
Capture Help below for details." When I clicked on "How to Capture" 
Chromium started up and opened to the Wireshark wiki page. I tried to 
follow a link, but got a lot of disk activity, very slow response to 
mouse movement, and no response to a mouse click on the close button. I 
tried to open a terminal window and shut down Chromium, but the machine 
would not respond to a <ctrl><alt>T. Nothing I tried would stop whatever 
was going on, so I manually powered down the machine.

When I started it back up most everything was normal. What doesn't work 
is connecting to my home network. Thunderbird and Firefox work fine so I 
know I can talk to the outside world. I can ssh into another Linux 
machine on the network. But I can't see the network with Nautilus. When 
I click on "Places > Network" I get a Nautilus window that shows the 
"Windows Network" icon. Normally I would see icons for at least two 
other machines. When I double click on the Windows Network icon I get a 
pop-up that says,

Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server

I tried restarting smbd, with no results. I tried restarting the machine 
with no improvement, either.

Where should I be looking next?

Thanks.
