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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hi,
Connect to Server... doesn't let me connect to my windows share by server name, but works fine by IP address.

The error message displayed is "Couldn't display "smb://buffalo/temp".
There is no application for this file type" (see Screenshot-
nautilus.png).

If I map by IP address, then it works OK. My machine can ping the server
by name, so it's resolving it no problem.

Can you help?

Andy
