GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323467
Problem browsing SMB network with smb:///
Last modified: 2010-12-13 04:21:04 UTC
Please describe the problem: I try to browse the SMB network by means of Places/Network Servers, or smb:/// in the Nautilus location bar. Those two seem to give the same result. I get stuck, repeatedly being prompted for a password to somebody else's workstation. Steps to reproduce: See above Actual results: I get prompted over and over again for the password to the same workstation Expected results: See a list of workgroups or machines. (I don't know SMB well enough to know which of those I would get). Does this happen every time? On this machine, yes. On a machine running Fedora Core 3 (Gnome 2.8), I get a list of - domains and/or workgroups. Other information: Platform is Ubuntu Breezy. seb128 told me how to rebuild packages with smb debugging, and I'm attaching the output. I'm also attaching Ethereal traces in text and pcap format.

Thanks for your bug. Ccing Nate who works on the smb stuff. Nate, any idea on this one? It seems to happen to different people
On alex's suggestion, I cleared the fields of the password dialog (user and domain) and pressed OK. This gave me a list of domains. However, when I tried to open the domain my files are on, I got "The folder contents could not be displayed", with no chance to supply credentials.
confront with this http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356093 and this http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361951
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
