Here are some workarounds that I have been using on 2 networks with mixed Ubuntu and winxp sp2 machines.
Workaround #1) If you want to stay all gnome... gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf (you need to be sudo to do this) scroll to the area that says: # What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names # to IP addresses ; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast and remove the leading ; from the name resolve order line and change the order of the entries to read: name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host Save the file, log off and back on. You will find the first time per session that you browse the network, it will take a while for the shares to show up, but subsequent browses will be fast. Workaround #2) If you don't mind installing some kde software. sudo apt-get install smb4k It will put itself into Applications > Accesories > Smb4K This uses kde browsing conventions, but seems to work almost instantly. Workaround #3) As noted in earlier posts, if you put smb:/"numerical ip address" in the nautilus browser window, it will work instantly, but don't make a mistake because an unresolvable ip address may cause a hang. Hope this helps a few people till the bug is finally resolved. -- nautilus does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS network. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for gvfs. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
