I had the 100% exact same problem that Andy describes. However, for me it was not a problem with Nautilus at all, and just a misconfiguration of samba's name resolution.
The way I fixed it was sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf Uncomment this line (remove the semicolon) ; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast and restart samba sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart For the record, I have it set up so netbios lookups are resolved through the DNS server. -- Connect to smb server by name doesn't work, but by IP address does https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
