[Bug 226777] [NEW] Impossible to correctly use Samba Shares on a NAS with Ubuntu

[Bobbix]

Public bug reported:

I've a NAS with samba server and there are no problems if i use it from
a windows xp client.

With Ubuntu Hardy, i search the shares with nautilus, i find them in the
workgroup and i mount them also, but... after few minutes i lost the
connection, even if i use the mounted share (e.g.: transferring data
to/from the NAS).

I get some errors by the applications when using files stored on the NAS server.
The system say that are no applications for open the file (mime: octet-stream).
I've tried to add the ip address of the NAS in my /etc/hosts file and /etc/lmhosts file, and i've tried to associate type octet-stram with application "Open Folder" in Nautilus.

Now i seem to have reduced the problem, so i get no data from the share after some minutes (like a timeout) but i no get the others errors and messages.
To get back the connection i now i have to refresh/recall many times the shares with nautilus.

Using the share on a samba server of another Ubuntu box, i have no
problem, other than the error i get when i make the bookmark (the same
message i get when i bookmark the NAS shares, sorry i have no data for
posting exactly the message now).

Any idea?
