As the original poster of this thread, I thought I would add another 2 cents. I discovered my ISP (Cablevision in New York), offers the ability to "opt out" of DNS redirection. This is not widely disseminated knowledge and it is almost impossible to find unless you know it exists.
I changed my status to "opted-out" for DNS rerdirection both on my home and office networks and I have had no further problems in any new installs of 9.04, 9.10 or 10.04 beta that I have tried on either network. As far as I can tell, this problem still remains and the only viable fixes are to use one of the following techinques: 1) Change the resolve order in /etc/samba/smb.conf 2) Use a public DNS server like Google as mentioned in #12 above 3) If your ISP allows, opt out of DNS redirection. -- Change resolve order so Nautilus can browse local network when ISP uses DNS redirection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389909 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
