[Bug 252245] Re: unable to connect to windows network pc's
James Walters, this phenomenon is verified in Trusty attempting to discover a Windows 7 share with Nautilus via a WiFi router connection. Strangely enough, if I spun up a Vista virtual local to the Trusty install (which uses a virtual switch, not a router) I could see its share by hostname with no modification. What allowed me to see the Windows share over WiFi: sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files wins Restarted and now the Windows 7 share is discoverable via hostname in Nautilus.

I don't know if this is the recent bug report about browsing windows network pc's, but I can confirm this bug. In 8.10 browsing windows network shares (samba) fails. My windows shares are even no windows shares, but just smb shares from xubuntu 8.04.1 and smb shares from an embedded Linux device. It used to work in 8.04.1. Clicking the icon Windows Network just shows nothing even after a few refreshes. If I go to Connect to server is works fine.

I believe I've been able to narrow the bug down to Samba. I can access the files through Nautilus using SMB, a protocol that Samba employs. But when, for example, I try to explore my network with an app that uses Samba, I get nothing. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = samba -- unable to connect to windows network pc's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, I can't guarantee it, but here are my conditions: Running Ubuntu 8.04.1 on Toshiba Satellite A205-S5804 laptop, which is using a Realtek RTL8187B wireless card. The wireless router is a D-Link DIR-615 Rev. A. The network is a Windows Network. The workgroup is MSHOME. The machines I am trying to access run Windows XP, and the printer is set up as a network printer. I believe the bug was caused by an update. Because I had not used my laptop for three weeks, I can't say which update it was. According to Geeth, at this thread on Ubuntu Forums, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869514 , he also is suffering from the same issue, which he says was caused by an update about three weeks ago. I am able to ping all the other pc's on the network. Also, when I go to Places Connect to Server, I can select Windows Share, enter the IP of a machine, and access the shared files that way. I hope this helps, and thank you so much for looking into this problem. NOTE: I think perhaps it may have been a Samba update. Have there been any Samba updates recently?
