[Bug 26933] Re: Browsing SAMBA shares impossible

[Sebastien Bacher]

I don't really know of samba works but there seems to be different way to browse a network, going from talking to a PDC or using WINS feature to broadcasting. It's likely than samba (or maybe the gnome-vfs code, would be nice to try with smbc to know if it has the same issue) does use the broadcast way for whatever reason (maybe doesn't know how to talk with the windows controler). If you are interested to figure what is happening exactly could you describe your network (domain, workgroup, pdc used, ...), what your firewall is filtering and try with smbc if it does better than GNOME?
