The smb.conf resolve order change is one of the first things I have to do on new installs, so that is a work around for me. The fact that it returns the wrong ip address on a ping command is something that I am interested in. I tried the same tests at my office in another town and it behaves exactly the same way. The difference is that I have 2 Wilndows XP pro sp2 machines there as well as 4 ubuntu 8.04 boxes. I find that I can use the windows machine to "ping server" and it returns the correct 10.0.0.5 address of my server. If I try that from any of the Ubuntu machines, it goes out to the same 67.63.55.3 that I got at home. If I change my dns servers from the ones supplied by my ISP to the ones used by openDNS for example, it behaves the same way, except it tries to ping a different ip address. In fact, regardless of what I put after the ping command, it always goes to the same outside address. I get the same result whether from my ISP dns server or openDNS. But the windowsXP boxes always get the ping command correct. So there is something different about how WindowsXP processes a ping request from how we are doing it in Ubuntu. Should I open a new bug centered on this behavior? I suspect if this got resolved, it would fix the network browse issue as well. My ISP is Optimum online. It is the fastest and best cable broadband provider on Long Island, New jersey and Connecticut. If I am having this problem, so is every other Ubuntu user in these areas. I think it should be looked into.
