[Bug 292836] Re: Cannot browse samba shares

[Giorgos Koklas]

I can confirm this bug. I set up a fresh install of ubuntu. and share some folders using Nautilus right click menu. After ubuntu installs samba I create a user with smbpassw and edit the smb.conf so that "workgroup" matches my workgroup. 
The network consists of a winxp home machien and an ubuntu machine. 

On the windows machine: I can access shares just fine. When prompted I
enter the required user password and the share is accessible.

On Ubuntu: At first everything works fine. After a few reboots though the following start to happen:
1. Nautilus does not "remember" to the shared emblel on the shared folder, although it does remain shared and accessible from other machines. 
2. If I  go to Places-->Network nothing shows up in Nautilus, as if there is no network (Only the "default" Windows Network icon shows which point to nothing of course).
3. I can access the shares if I go to Places-->Connect to and specify the shared path.
4. Gnome commander seems to work But not always. Can not seem to be able to reproduce the reasons why it does not in some cases. 

This is specific to Gnome. Everyhting seems to work fine once I install
konqueror on ubuntu and access the shares through it. Really annoying
bug.
