Comment 13 for bug 316862

i seem to have the same gvfs/nautilus problem - recently installed 9.04 on a new drive but i can still boot into 7.10 off my older drive if i choose.

samba installed, can see shared folders on 9.04 box from any windows xp box
BUT 9.04 box is unable to reach windows shares using nautilus 2.26.2.

upon clicking on COMPUTER01 in my WORKGROUP computer list i get the following error:
Unable to mount location
Failed to retrieve share list from server
(see attached screenshot-1)

when i boot into 7.10 on the same box i do not have this problem.

i can work around by using ip address; i.e typing the following in nautilus:
smb://192.168.1.100/sharedfolder
but that is not a solution because i have other windows xp boxes on the network with dynamic ip addresses.

i'm not using any wins server on my network.
i turned off all firewalls.
workgroup=WORKGROUP on all boxes.

i've tried every relevant solution i could find on the ubuntuforum boards - nothing has helped.

i am an experienced windows tech person but relatively new to ubuntu... willing to test and provide any info i can to help figure this out... please give verbose instructions.

thanks,
john d.
