GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 153902
"Connect to Server" UI/Samba interaction problem
Last modified: 2005-02-12 20:53:07 UTC
This bug has been reported here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/1704 "When using "Connect to Server" to connect to a Windows 2003 Server (results differ with XP workstation) and entering "servername" in the server field and "sharename" in the share field, there is an authentication failure reported. I have determined that it is not a problem with the Windows server, as attempting to connect using smbclient works, as does entering the full path (ie, smb://server/share) in the File Browser. I have also determinded that using the "Connect to Server" dialog, entering "servername/sharename" in the server field and leaving the share field blank, also works."
This is buggyness in the gnome-vfs smb auth code and basically another dup of bug 132933. There's nothing nautilus can do about it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132933 ***
