This may provide further answers as to why Firefox has difficulty > with wins in my system whereas Chromium does not. A quick test shows that chrome uses getaddrinfo just like firefox. Given that first getaddrinfo in the python test succeeded and also that firefox resolves correctly with hook3.so (which adds some delay by printing result to console), the problem might be when subsequent call to getaddrinfo is called too quickly after previous call and something in wins code doesn't have time to fail and clean up. Could you please do another test? - put wins back to nsswitch.conf - run the old test to make sure it still fails - run this new test which sleeps between getaddrinfo calls Also, would you mind sharing your /etc/samba/smb.conf ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796979 Title: Intermittently can't connect to the server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1796979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
