I don't think any of the issues here have anything to do with a bug in
NetworkManager or any other piece of software, but I'm willing to play
along. :)
If you can still reproduce this issue (I assume you would, no matter the
release of Ubuntu being used); can you tell me what happens to the IP
address for the Ubuntu machines? You'll likely notice IP changes logged
in /var/log/syslog. I feel the most likely cause of what you're seeing
is that the shares stop showing because the local IP changed, which
breaks the connection that was established to have the shares show up in
Nautilus.
Regardless of whether this is indeed the cause or not, the most useful
piece of information here would be to get /var/log/syslog (and possibly
/var/log/syslog.1) containing every log entry that happened between the
shares properly appearing, and then not showing up on (a) later day(s).

Title:
Shares disappear from Nautilus weekly
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
About once a week at random, all shares both Windows and Ubuntu will
disappear from the Nautilus Places/Network.
This is a HARDWIRED LAN, NOT WIRELESS by the way. using SAMBA not NFS.
We have made no changes of any kind to the computers. They work fine
for about 3 or 4 days and Places/Network shows ALL of our shares with
no problem.
Then they will just disappear from Places/Network!
However, if you go to Go/Location and type in the IP address of each
machine, you can display the shares and mount them again and they work
fine, just don't show in Places/Network is all.
Also, all the shares appear in smbtree using terminal.
And you can PING each machine no problem.
From any of the other 7 machines you can access the computer that is not
showing the shares.
2 machines are Windows XP, 6 are Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.
When Nautilus decides to act up, it's quite random, and can affect any
machine, usually not all of the machines.
It's like, well today is Friday, I think I'll just kick back and pester the
daylights out of the operator today and not let the shares show today.
Then tomorrow, not making a single change, shares start showing up
again.
I've been working with others to resolve this issue for over 3 months
now and NOBODY can find anything wrong with ANY of my configuration
files or Networking. I didn't expect they would, since everything
works fine. The only issue seems to be that at random, Nautilus just
decides it's NOT going to show shares in Places Network that day!
One other thing, your BUG REPORTING TOOL in Nautilus does NOT WORK EITHER!
Takes you to a page that displays the following:
Lost something?
There’s no page with this address in Launchpad.
Check that you entered the address correctly.
I didn't enter the address, I clicked on the LINK that Collects the
Information and sends it, then it sends you to a non-existent web page
here at Launchpad.
Thanks
