I've been trying different scenarios and found one similar when I try to open a samba share on a Vista machine that only shares a printer no files.
I think we're looking at a Samba issue. I'll search for similar bugs. What kind of "network directory" are you trying to connect to? (Windows share, nfs, ftp) One way to answer this is to use the "Connect to Server" command from the file menu. Another is to look at the location bar in nautilus. smb://<path> is samba sftp:// uses secure ftp ... Once I know the type of network directory I'd like to try the command line access method to see if we can get an error message instead of hanging. If we can come up with a repeatable scenario that demonstrates the problem we have a better chance of getting it fixed. Right now I think the missing piece (or at least the next missing piece) is the type of network share we're dealing with. Note: I am NOT asking for your username/password but I have a general question. Is the username on the share the same as the username you use to log into Ubuntu? Do you see the dialog asking for password?
