"Places->Connect To Server->Custom Location" not working

[Hrishikesh Murali]

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. I want to access a remote share
"smb://<ip>/<share_name>".

Until I was using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, I could just go to
"Places->Connect To Server->Custom Location" and type
"smb://<ip>/<share_name>". It would then ask for authentication and I could
then access the share.

But in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, I am not able to. It says "Cannot Connect
to Server. You must enter a name for the server".

The thing is that in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, I am able to access the share
if I go to "Places->Home Folder" and type "smb://<ip>/<share_name>" in the
"Location" field, but not through "Places->Connect To Server->Custom
Location".

Why is it so? Is this a bug, or am I the only one facing this problem?
