Public bug reported: My computer is moving between two LANs with both server exporting SMB/CIFS shares.
Last time I booted and logged on my computer it was in LAN 10.6.0.0/26. Today I tried to use nautilus to browse share in the 192.168.10.0/24 lan and it failed to show my samba server at 192.168.10.222. Tracing while clicking in "Windows Network" icon in nautilus produced this trace: mat@ares:/var$ sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 -n not port 22 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on wlan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes 00:27:09.597408 IP 192.168.10.163.53624 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:09.868496 IP 192.168.10.163.53624 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:10.139612 IP 192.168.10.163.53624 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:12.038007 IP 192.168.10.163.41865 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:12.309160 IP 192.168.10.163.41865 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:12.580556 IP 192.168.10.163.41865 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:13.501035 ARP, Reply 192.168.10.164 is-at 64:a7:69:e2:78:20, length 28 00:27:14.478981 IP 192.168.10.163.54671 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:14.750114 IP 192.168.10.163.54671 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:15.021351 IP 192.168.10.163.54671 > 10.6.0.63.137: NBT UDP PACKET(137): QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST 00:27:28.554010 ARP, Reply 192.168.10.164 is-at 64:a7:69:e2:78:20, length 28 00:27:34.568594 IP 192.168.10.163.5353 > 224.0.0.251.5353: 0 PTR (QM)? _daap._tcp.local.
