Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
My Ubuntu Desktop (9.10, 64-bit) VM can't connect to my Windows 7
(64-bit, Ultimate) File Share using Nautilus. I enter
"smb://<comuterName>" in the address bar and then it comes up with a
password dialog (see screenshot) and then after entering the correct
login info, the dialog disappears for a second or two but then reappears
again. The dialog always comes back up and the share is never mounted.
* Connecting from an XP box on the network to the windows 7 share works
just fine.
* Connecting from the Ubuntu machine to the windows 7 share using the
appropriate 'smbmount' command works just fine.
* Connecting from the Ubuntu machine (using the nautilus GUI) to the XP box
(password protected) works just fine.
* Then I turned off password protection in Win7, rebooted the win7 machine,
and still all of the above tests turned out the same. And the Ubuntu machine
still doesn't connect to the windows share using the nautilus GUI, and still
displays the password dialog even though no password is required anymore.
* I tried using smbclient to view the shares, here is the output (not sure
if I should be trying something else using the smbclient program):
o ed...@eddie-ubuntu:~$ smbclient -L eddie-win7
Enter eddie's password:
