Public bug reported:
I'm Running Kubuntu Edgy within a Windows workgroup, with samba set up
correctly to browse shared folders on a Windows server. However, after I reboot
Kubuntu, browsing to "smb:/" in Konqueror results in the error:
"Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be caused by
an enabled firewall."
Although browsing straight to "smb://servername" works well.
If I then wait, and hit refresh every couple of minutes, I still get the
error each time, but after 40 minutes or so a final refresh shows the
workgroup correctly, and from then on it works well.
Since it's obviously possible to detect the workgroup successfully, as
it does after waiting for a while, whatever it does to get things
working should be activated on-demand the moment "smb:/" is accessed,
rather than waiting for it to happen elsewhere (eventually).
(I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I'm connected to the LAN
via a wireless connection, which is enabled manually after bootup
completes - so there's no connectivity during the boot process).
