Sebastien, Thank you for your efforts. Based on your comment, I've reformatted and reinstalled Ubuntu. I installed WINBIND and changed /etc/nsswitch.conf to add WINS (because my Vista machine is in a workgroup and I have no DNS server):
hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 As a result, issue #1 is gone, however the remaining undesired behavior remains. Is there any additional packages or configuration you recommend to allow Nautilus/GVFS to work as expected?
