OK, I have sort of found the problem, but things are still strange. The initial nothingness was due to the firewal ufw. I tried allowing connections to ports 137-139, but that didn't help. Disabling completely the firewall let me browse windows networks. Are there a particular set of ports that must be open to browse windows shares? I vaguely remember something about that in Samba, but it seems strange you need ports open just to look.
In addition to the problem above, I have also found that browsing does not bring up consistent results. Sometimes it shows all networks, sometimes it shows a much reduced list of networks (the long list and the short list are always the same, the only thing that changes is which one comes up). This behavior also seems to be affected by turning on or off the samba server located on my machine. Hitting reload on nautilus doesn't change the list. The only thing that switches the list is closing the nautilus window (I only have one open) and reopening it. The gutsy machine on the same network consistently shows the long list of networks. Why would it not show all networks all the time? -- smb:/// displays nothing in latest hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
