[Bug 32951] [Dapper] Windows networking broken in Nautilus

[Erich Pawlik]

Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/32951

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When clicking on "Windows Network" in the Network File Browser, I
receive the message:

"smb:///" is not a valid location

Hardware:
Dell Inspiron 4150

Versions:

samba: 3.021b-1ubuntu2
samba-common: 3.021b-1ubuntu2
nautilus: 2.13.91-0ubuntu1
libgnomevfs2-0:  2.13.91-0ubuntu2

Some additional information:

1) There was some traffic on the debian list related to a similar
problem

http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2004/11/msg00088.html

but this communication is pretty old and it has worked until recently.

2) WebDav-Shares are working, so it seems to be something related to the
SMB-protocol.

3) The problem is independent on the computer hosting the smb share. It
occurs both for shares on Windows XP and on Samba

4) Printing via smb works.

5) It is possible to access smb shares on my machine from a Windows XP
box and an Ubuntu box.

6) After the most recent upgrade (10 minutes ago),  the Ubuntu box
mentioned above has the same problem. Since a new version of libgnomevfs
has been installed, I guess the problem is somehow related to this
package.
