Title:
  SAMBA cannot browse Workgroups, name resolve order

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since a lot of years every fresh *ubuntu installation has the same
  issue. They are not able to browse the network in any way, even crash
  most of the time. The fix is easy and everyone knows about it but
  nothing changed over such a long time.

  You could really improve user experience for new users with this
  default line in the smb.conf:

  
  "name resolve order = wins bcast lmhosts host"

  Right now the default order does not work for LANs.

  Cheers
