I can't seem to get my windows shares to show up in network at all...

Everything works fine and I can connect to them manually with the smb:// prefix

I've tried turning off IPv6 in network settings, as well as setting up my WINS name and workgroup, and adding my router IP as the WINS server (because some fixes said it might work).

My Windows computers see the mac no problem. What gives?

I have an ASUS p6t deluxe v2 mobo with a marvell yukon 88e056 onboard LAN (which works fine, and accesses the internet without a hitch.)

A couple things I've noticed are:

1. In diagnostics I get "failed" under ethernet and network settings

2. In system profiler, my IPv6 config still reads as automatically configure

Note, that I did make a new location instead of using the default one.
