[Bug 252245] Re: unable to connect to windows network pc's

[dAF2000]

I don't know if this is the recent bug report about browsing windows network pc's, but I can confirm this bug. In 8.10 browsing windows network shares (samba) fails.
My windows shares are even no windows shares, but just smb shares from xubuntu 8.04.1 and smb shares from an embedded Linux device. It used to work in 8.04.1. Clicking the icon "Windows Network" just shows nothing even after a few refreshes. If I go to "Connect to server" is works fine.

Some info:
david at toshiba:~$ smbtree 
Password: 
DAVID
	\\EPIA           		Syntax
		\\EPIA\hd             	/media/hd
		\\EPIA\wd500          	/media/wd500
		\\EPIA\root           	root filesystem
		\\EPIA\mp3            	mp3
		\\EPIA\website        	
		\\EPIA\dreamboxbackup 	
		\\EPIA\dvd            	
		\\EPIA\pli7000        	/home/david/pli7000
		\\EPIA\IPC$           	IPC Service (Syntax)

I had a shortcut created during 8.04 to access that //EPIA share. Now I get the error message:
"Could not open location smb://epia/" "No application is registered as handling this file"
