This results in: Could not find "smb:///sharing". Please check the spelling and try again. The variant smb://[::1]/sharing/ results in: Could not display "smb://[::1]/sharing/". Expected behaviour: just a succesful connection to the share /sharing/ on the localhost via IPv6, by using ::1 or [::1]. This bug is relevant because SMB itself over IPv6 works great and is a solution for SMB access without IPv4 NAT problems, and/but a FQDN is not always available. NB: ::1 is just an example. Addresses like 2001:... don't work either. Important remarks: Nautilus' SMB does *correctly* handle: - litteral IPv4 address like 127.0.0.1 - name resolving to IPv4 address - name resolving to IPv6 address (yes!) - smb://ip6-localhost/sharing/ (yes!) - Bonjour/zereconf names like smb://quirinius.local./sharing/ smbclient does *correctly* handle litteral IPv6 addresses: sander@quirinius:~$ smbclient -N -L ::1 Anonymous login successful Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.0] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- print$ Disk Printer Drivers IPC$ IPC IPC Service (quirinius server (Samba, Ubuntu)) Brother-HL-2030-series Printer Brother HL-2030 series sharing Disk ::1 is an IPv6 address -- no workgroup available sander@quirinius:~$ ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Dec 5 21:28:24 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus Package: nautilus 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-15.50-generic SourcePackage: nautilus Uname: Linux 2.6.31-15-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/492948/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
