How do I report confirmation of the bug described above? i.e. Nautilus
in ubuntu 8.04 can't browse Windows shares
On a true peer-to-peer network (a subnet with NO domain controler, NO
wins server, NO dedicated single servers of any kind). In ubuntu 8.04.1
the Nautilus network file browser fails to get and show the shares from
Windows machines when the shares are not anonymous (when the shares
require user/password authentication).
Nautilus DOES show the shares from other types of linux machines (say
from CentOS 5.2 machines).
For example: If one of the Windows Xp machines is named "LAPTOP" and is
sharing the entire C drive (no rants please)
Smbclient -L LAPTOP is able to get the shares and is able to connect, after you
provide a password
smb//LAPTOP/C <--------------WORKS FINE
However, since these are NOT anonymous shares from the Windows box,
smbclient -L LAPTOP -N returns:
/home/greg #smbclient -L LAPTOP -N
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

Under these conditions the nautilus network file browers fails to
browse, however if you then enter a valid share in the nautilus target
text box ( such as smb://laptop/c ) nautilus then prompts for the
password and IS able to connect to the share.
I have been unable to find any way change the configurations (on ubuntu
or Windows) and make authenticated WindowsXP shares work.
Thank You. (So....do I need to do something else to make this a "real" bug
report?)
By the way, the CentOS 5.2 machines (using KDE) can browse the WindowsXP shares
with no issues.
