[Bug 785171] Re: Samba works or may not work quite random

[Scott Moser]

Can you please clarify .
I think that your problem is:
 - ubuntu 10.04 desktop system
 - multiple other systems on the network (one of which is linux mint) sharing files
 - ubuntu desktop sometimes is not able to list network shares

Questions:
 - When you say "with the firewall disabled it usuallly shows my other home comupters and does a mount", is "it" the ubuntu desktop system?
 - What do you mean by "firewall disabled".  What firewall are you using?  What settings does it have?
 - Why do you think the firewall is at all related, when you seem to indicate that it fails both with and without the firewall disabled.

It seems like you're saying "usually it works if I disable firewall"
(I'm assuming that means on the desktop system)

Title:
  Samba works or may not work quite random

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1)  When I click on Places/Network with the firewall disabled it usually shows my other home computers and does a mount on my desktop when I click them.  Once mounted I can enable the firewall and access their shared files from the mount.
  2)  With all firewalls disabled I often get only the windows network icon and it's empty.  It was working as per item 1 last week and all that I've done is to run the updates and updated all of a few hundred megs of stuff.  I've been fiddling with this on and off for ages and think I've got it fixed only to fall down next time I use networks.

       I'm running 10.4 by the way.  Ian.
