i still have this problem and it has never gone away - recently installed 9.04 on a new drive but i can still boot into 7.10 off my older drive if i choose.
samba installed, can see shared folders on 9.04 box from any windows xp box BUT 9.04 box is unable to resolve windows host names using nautilus 2.26.2. i get the following error: Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server when i boot into 7.10 i do not have this problem. i can work around by using ip address; i.e typing the following in nautilus: smb://192.168.1.100/sharedfolder but that is not a solution because i have other windows xp boxes on the network with dynamic ip addresses. i'm not using wins on my network. i turned off all firewalls. apparently 9.04 can not perform a broadcast netbios name request but 7.10 can. i've tried every relevant solution i could find on the ubuntuforum boards - nothing has helped. any help would be appreciated - i am an experienced windows tech person but relatively new to ubuntu, thanks -- nautilus does not display samba shares for machines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360513 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
