I have now helped a friend install 32 bit Jaunty on his office network. All work stations are clean installs of Jaunty that need to browse his file server which is Windows server 2003. He also has some printers attached to and shared by his Ubuntu work stations that need to print from the file server. With a stock install, all the network browsing issues are present, as well as many intermittent shared printing failures. If I edit smb.conf as I noted earlier, to change the resolve order, every thing works correctly. This now confirms that every machine I have installed on 3 separate networks in 3 different towns all exhibit this problem. A total of more than 12 machines. None of them work correctly out of the box.
One piece of the puzzle is that both of the ISP's involved with all these machines are using DNS redirection. The problem I originally had coincided exactly with the day my ISP started using redirection on my 2 networks. This does not seem to affect the kde network browser and does not affect the network browser in Windows XP pro SP2 or Windows Server 2003. It does adversely affect network browsing in Nautilus. Something about DNS redirection causes network browsing failures in Nautilus. -- nautilus does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS network. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
