[Bug 235560] Re: Connect to smb server by name doesn't work, but by IP address does

[moschops]

I have a Hardy Heron machine that is trying to connect to a share on a
Gutsy machine and I get the same problem trying to connect to the share.
If I follow the instructions to remove 'wins' from nsswitch on both
sides (it was only originally on the Gutsy machine), enable the mdns4 on
both sides then I can connect and browse using the ".local" suffix.
Thing is I didn't want to have to type that...

This is without any change to the resolve order in smb.conf

To try and enable .local-less resolution and correct connecting and
browsing I added wins to the nsswitch.conf line and uncommented the
resolve order in smb.conf and set it to have wins at the end.  But this
did not work (although I could now ping without .local again) and the
nautilus error on connecting to a share returned.

I think I'm going to resign myself to having to type .local all the
time...
