Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Windows Network empty
Earlier, networking worked really well. I just plugged in the wifi card,
enabled Windows shares on another computer, and away it went.
Its just started showing nothing in the Linux Windows folder using Nautilus
2.22.3.
If I Go/Location smb://10.1.1.5 (external ip address) shared folders are then
available.
If I go Places/Connect to Server/Windows Share 10.1.1.5 = can't display
location smd://10.1.1.5/ No application is registered as handling this file
Typing Nautilus smb://10.1.1.5 brings up a window showing the shares.
I have reinstalled Samba as suggested on other threads.
After installed GNOME commander and Voila, SMB shows all shares as before.
It seems that Nautilus does not try Samba; when the Network Icon is clicked,
there is no delay even on refresh. Remote desktop viewer I believe is used by
Nautilus to view networks? If so, Remote desktop viewer cannot find the network
either.
What I've found is that with a relog on Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and same
logon detail the shares become visible in Nautilus!!
This is a common problem as if you search on Ubuntu forum for 'empty Windows
shares' there are several hits all describing the same problem without any
resolution.
Release Hardy Heron.
