From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: When using nautilus to browse the network none of the servers on the network show up in the Windows Network window. SMB services are working. findsmb shows a list of servers available on the network and connections can be made to the resources on those servers with out problem. Under Fedora Core 1 when the Network Servers item is selected I get a set of icons representing all of the Windows servers on the network. Selecting one of those icons prompts for password information and then a window with the shares available on that server is presented. This does not happen with Fedora Core 2. I have verified that the firewall is not a problem, iptables has been disabled and/or smb ports have been allowed through the firewall. This problem has been seen on four different Fedora Core 2 systems, 3 desktops systems and 1 laptop. I can run findsmb and see a list of servers on the network. I can also run smbclient -L SERVERNAME and get a list of resources on those servers. So it appears that samba services are working correctly. I don't see any error messages in the log files for samba or in /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure. On one system I removed all samba packages and nautilus and reinstalled. Had the same results when I re-tested. Since access to samba shares appears to work via other mechanisims I believe this is a problem with nautilus and not samba. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.6.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select Network Servers from main menu 2.Select Windows Network icon 3.No servers are listed in the Windows Network window Actual Results: None of the windows servers on the network are shown in the Windows Network window. Expected Results: An icon for each windows sever on the network should be shown in the Windows Network window. Additional info:
I can confirm observing the same behavior the originator of this bug report (Scot Harris) describes using nautilus on my FC2 system. Although if I switch to using KDE's konqueror, smb browsing works like it should. So it looks like this problem has something to do with how nautilus obtains a list of registered domains/hosts on ones network.
I think this is a dupe of 122292. BTW, after some of the recent updates, this has started workng for me.
