There's something I can add to the above. The very day I wrote the post
the original ability to show SMB shares in Nautilus reappeared for a
while, then, several days later, there is nothing again.
Meantime, smbclient shows the shares OK. But Nautilus says "unable to mount
location" ("failed to retrieve share list from server").
Or, alternatively, when I go through GO >> Location... and type "smb:///myhost"
in location bar, it simply returns "not found".
So, maybe somebody could tell me just WHAT's to be checked???
I'll be VERY glad to supply whatever information is available on my computer.
One thing seems clear right now: smbclient is showing the shares OK while
Nautilus' "Browse Network" is NOT.

Title:
SAMBA network not showing in Nautilus "Browse Network" option
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
1)Ubuntu version = 11.10
2) today, Oct 27 2011 installed updates, which included cups and nautilus
related packages together with 120 other packages.
3) Opening Nautilus & clicking on Browse Network must show my existing
Windows Samba Network as it used to before update.
SAMBA shared network printer configured before is expected to print.
4) Instead: Nautilus shows only "Windows Network" icon and no existing
network.
preconfigured SAMBA printer is not available anymore. Adding printer via
existing SAMBA network gives the same result: existing SAMBA network cannot be
found.
At the same time SAMBA printer disappeared and can't be found either.
NOTE: the same thing happened when I last updated nautilus packages in
Ubuntu 11.04, which is why I upgraded to 11.10, but now I'm facing the
same problem.
SEVERITY: this is really a problem, because I can't browse my Windows
share on the office server, nor print a document on a shared printer.
