Title:
  Connect to smb server by name doesn't work, but by IP address does

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in samba package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,
  Connect to Server... doesn't let me connect to my windows share by server name, but works fine by IP address.

  The error message displayed is "Couldn't display "smb://buffalo/temp".
  There is no application for this file type" (see Screenshot-
  nautilus.png).

  If I map by IP address, then it works OK. My machine can ping the
  server by name, so it's resolving it no problem.

  Can you help?
