Public bug reported:
When connecting to a Windows share from the GO menu within the file
browser it fails to connect using all of the different versions of
server name, ip, fqdn and all different forms of capatilization or lack
thereof in the user name and domain fields. I get immediately pushed
back and the GUI tells me to verify my credentials.
I am able to connect to a server if I browse through the Nautlius link
"Network" and find my server and double click on it. At that level I am
able to connect but I have to type the domain name in full caps.
1. Why is the GO menu broken?
2. Windows is not case sensitive in any of it's client implementations so far,
why is my Linux client trying to act like it should be.
