           Summary: Browsing SAMBA shares impossible
           Product: Ubuntu

I'm trying to browse some SAMBA shares in Nautilus and it's getting pretty
impossible to do it. The server is well configured as Windows machines have no
problems.

Going to "Places/Network servers", sometimes shows up "Windows Network",
sometimes it doesn't (and displays an error message). 

When the "Windows Network" icon shows up, the workgroup sometime shows up,
mostly it doesn't. Same can be said to the SAMBA server and other machines in
the workgroup.

When I try to manually connect to a known share (i.e.
smb://<ipaddress>/sharename) I get this error message (which is the same for any
problems I've described so far): "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of
... " so I guess that this is a catch-all message and doesn't point to any
possible problem (maybe include a "More info..." button or *log* the problems
somewhere?)

Also, about browsing, the [homes] share appears in every Windows machine I've
looked at but it doesn't show in Nautilus. 

What concrete information must I provide to see if this doesn't find it's way
into Dapper?

System is up-to-date with the latest packages in the Dapper repository.
