Thanks for the explanation, but that feels like a real regression to me! Just last week with 17.10 I was showing some people running Windows how easy it was to browse and connect to Windows servers with Nautilus. Now, with 18.04, they again have to jump through hoops and know cryptic smb URLs to connect to them...

The expected result of these actions: Samba servers to automatically show up under “Networks”. This is the behavior in Ubuntu 17.10 using Nautilus 1:3.26.0-0ub. Also, clicking on “”Windows Network” immediately shows "Folder is Empty". The actual result of these actions: The Samba servers never show up under “Networks” and clicking on "Windows Network" always immediately comes up with "Folder is Empty". Further information: This happens on both machines with a clean Ubuntu 18.04 install. My Ubuntu 17.10 machines still work like expected. I can still manually type in the Samba information in "Connect to Server" and the 18.04 machines connect just fine.
