[Bug 338411] Re: Cannot retreive share list if samba client and server have the same hostname

[mmnz]

I just had this error on Juanty... i am not sure why because there are
four computers on the network and mine is the only one called matthew-
desktop, anyways i followed the workaround in this thread and things are
ok now.

I think if the error prompt for this type of issue should be the
following:

==
<b>Ubuntu is unable to connect to %some-computer.</b>
It is possible the hostname %my-hostname is already in use on the network.  A hostname is a unique name that identifies your system on a Local Area Network (LAN).  To connect to %some-computer please enter a new and unique hostname:

New Hostname (example: matthew-desktop2):
