Negative. I also had that issue and the solution I commented on in that
thread solved some problems for me.
Issues 1 2 persisted after that solution was applied, but I'm now
unable to replicate them, so I suppose we can close this thread.
Thanks,

** Changed in: gvfs (Ubuntu)
Setting /etc/samba/smb.conf to:
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host
And leaving /etc/nsswitch.conf as default allows me to browse OK.
Thanks for the advice Steve. You said:
... Opendns breaks the assumption that DNS servers won't return bogus
records when asked for hosts that they
I have switched my server from Vista to Ubuntu (yea!).
Issues 1 2 persist.

When I remove WINS from nsswitch.conf, this breaks browsing entirely for
me. Ping by name also fails - resolution is incorrect because of
OpenDNS.
It seems I can connect and ping by name if I use the servername.local
instead of servername, even though I don't define the domain of my
computers at
Please forgive me if this is incorrect, but I want to see if this
information helps others better troubleshoot this issue.
While researching the issue for my similar bug report, I found that
having a DNS server that responds to otherwise invalid host entries
(i.e. OpenDNS) may contribute.
Sebastien,
Thank you for your efforts. Based on your comment, I've reformatted and
reinstalled Ubuntu. I installed WINBIND and changed /etc/nsswitch.conf
to add WINS (because my Vista machine is in a workgroup and I have no
DNS server):
hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]

Correction:
In item #5, you do not see all the share contents as expected. You see
N-1 files/folders, as compared to browsing using the server IP address,
where you see N files/folders, where N is the actual total number of
files/folders in the share.
In one share I'm missing a file, in another
A. Do you get the issue on every share?
Every share gives an error on first access. Subsequent accesses display
N-1 items, where N is the total amount of files/folders in the share. If
a share has only one item, then 0 items are displayed.
B. Could you describe how to set up a problematic one?
Yes:

I don't think this is a Samba bug. I experience the same symptoms. In
addition, folders in shares will often change to text icons after I open
them (or try to open them). Some folders in shares are sometimes not
listed, but show up again after a refresh. It does not make a difference
if I mount
