I'm having a problem accessing shared folders on other local machines.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.2. All updates have been applied.

1. Nautilus sees other computers on the network, but when I click on one
of them, after a long pause, it just shows a blank window with no shared
folders.

2. From the terminal "smbclient //nasdrive/sharedfolder -U username" returns:
timeout connecting to 206.112.100.151:445
timeout connecting to 206.112.100.151:139
Error connecting to 206.112.100.151 (Operation already in progress)
Connection to nasdrive failed (Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)

I have no idea where 206.112.100.151 comes from. It's always this same
address, and I have no machines with that IP address.

3. From the terminal, "sudo smbtree" responds correctly. Also, it fixes
the other problems, temporarily. Nautilus can now access shared drives.
The same smbclient command above now accesses the appropriate folder,
with no errors. It's necessary to run smbtree with sudo. Without using
sudo, smbtree responds correctly, but it doesn't fix the other problems.

4. After reboot, all the problems return.

5. Both my installed system and the live CD behave the same.
