Check that an SMB server is running in the local network." and I can not see any of my windows shares Expected Results: I should be able to see my windows machine and the folder that is being shared Additional info:
This sounds like a nautilus bug, so I'm reassigning it to the nautilus maintainer. Also, this bug will be far easier to reproduce if you attach a copy of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file for the machine running nautilus, and describe your Windows network topology (domain or workgroup, what oses (and Service Pack levels) you're running, etc.
I'm in a small home workgroup just the linux box plus a windows 2000 sp4 machine that holds my backed up data for when I test these test releases. As for the /etc/samba/smb.conf file it should be what came as default as I had not modified that file. Perhaps the problem may be the name of the workgroup is not matching, but as I said it worked before with redhat 9, test 1, and test 1 + rawhide without modifing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Let me test that theory out and I'll get back to you.
This can happen (and happens to me alot) if you have your firewall turned on or not configured to pass smb traffic. Try doing as root "service iptables stop" and then try to browse for shares. Let us know is this helps.
ok I disabled the firewall and it works now. One question what port does samba use so I can have my firewall enabled again?
