Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with packages up to date.
My problem WAS that nautilus would list my Samba and Windows hosts, but
when I clicked on them I wouldn't get any shares. I could use smbclient
just fine, but gvfs-ls would timeout when trying to list samba shares,
ie gvfs-ls smb://MASTER/core .
I fired up wireshark and noticed that whenever I used gvfs-ls smb://
that it sends out a DNS request to my ISP and gets back a successful
lookup (wtf?) to 64.158.56.56. I use CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS and they
resolve all bad lookups to their "helpful" search page, which explains
why I get the timeouts.
I went to my /etc/samba/smb.conf file and uncommented and changed this
line:
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
to
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host
rebooted, and GVFS and Nautilus (as well as all GVFS enabled apps) were
working like a dream.
