Public bug reported:
I'm using a fresh install of hardy beta on a desktop pc with today's (28
Mar) updates applied. If I try to connect to a samba / windows share, on
my link station, using Places -> Connect to Server... and only enter
the service type (windows share) and server name / ip address, I get the
following error message:
'Can't display location "smb://192.168.0.4/"
No application is registered as handling this file'
However, if I then go back to the connect to server dialog box and enter
the same details, but also include the share name, it connects and I get
the "Enter Password" dialog box. I then enter the username, domain and
password and the shared folder opens up in nautilus as expected.
On my main machine running gutsy, if I only enter the service type
(windows share) and server name, nautilus opens up and shows all
available shares.
Also (not sure if this is related or is another issue), before I've
connected to the samba share, if I select Places -> Network then double
click on "Windows Network" nothing displays in nautilus. This also
happens in gutsy. Once I've connected to a samba share, going to Places
-> Network and double clicking the "Windows Network" then shows all the
shares on my network and I can browse the folders.
Thanks
