From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; MyIE2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I got an error. "Couldn't display "smb///", because nautilus cannot contact the master browser. Check that the Samba server is running inthe local network." Samba is running and I can see the server from the other machines on the network. I'm a rookie, can anyone help me here? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to connect to network servers 2. 3. Actual Results: I got an error. "Couldn't display "smb///", because nautilus cannot contact the master browser. Check that the Samba server is running inthe local network." Additional info:
Does this error still occur if you do as root: /sbin/service iptables stop If the error no longer happens then your firewall is not permitting browsing to occur. You may use redhat-config-securitylevel to disable the firewall.
Yes it is still happening. I stopped the iptables service and still got the same message. I've done some inet research and there seems to be others with the same problem and that solution didn't work for them either. Any other ideas?
