Bug in Nautilus accessing Windows 2000 Shares

[Frank Daley]

Got a problem with Nautilus, seems to be worse than those outlined in
bug 132933 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132933)

Last week was able to use Nautilus to access shares on a Windows 2000
box. Now, Nautilus just hangs and shows nothing. (Yes tried a few
times and let it have more than half hour to show the contents)

Also if try to enable Windows Networking via the Networking/General
tab of System Configuration it says "SMB Support is not running" But
actually I have smbfs installed and can successfully mount the shares
using LinNeighborhood.

Can also successfully use smbmount to mount. For instance this works
via command line -

mount -t smbfs -o username=<Windows user name>,password=<Windows
password> //<IP Address>/<Share Name> <Mount point on Linux machine>

It's Nautilus and the GNOME stuff that seems to have the problem. Last
week using Nautilus I got a prompt for Domain Name / User Name /
Password. This week, no message, just sits with spinning wheel icon.

Is this a Nautilus bug? Any ideas?
