Aha! It's a problem with my ISP. I tried smbclient -L //win2000 (a Windows 2000 computer) and it gave:
timeout connecting to 64.158.56.56:445 timeout connecting to 64.158.56.56:139 Error connecting to 64.158.56.56 (Operation already in progress) Connection to win2000 failed (Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) And when I typed fykyfktykty in my Firefox address bar, it went to http://www11.charter.net/search?qo=fykyfktykty&rn=0N-xs7fhaSxxxgQ Guess what the IP address of www11.charter.net is? That's right, 64.158.56.56. Ubuntu thinks that's the SMB server since it comes up first, and tries to connect to it. -- smb.conf resolve order messes up Nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
