Bug Description
dolphin can't see the samba folders properly on kubuntu
this problem is VERY old i can remember this since there was kde 4.0
THE PROBLEM
i have written here http://
aand as you can see here dolphin can't load samba folders or the workgroup , with a general error "Timeout on server workgroup"
http://
you can try to share folders with kubuntu but you can't see them without these packages
sudo apt-get install samba kdenetwork-
after that you still can't see samba folders you need to edit
kdesudo kate /etc/nsswitch.conf
and put wins before dns as you can see here
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4
and
sudo adduser $USER sambashare ; sudo smbd restart
PLEASE FIX THIS.

I did not manage to reproduce this bug. It works with in my machine using the defaults. Could you paste the output of `net usershare info` and permission of the the shared folder and its parents?
