Hello all, I'm afraid I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to connect to the Samba shares on a NAS-4220-B Icybox.
I keep getting Couldn't display "smb://192.168.1.64/nikos/.. There is no application installed for this file type" messages. I now realize this is a misleading message as it has nothing to do with 'no application [being] installed' but rather with an inability to access the shares. Whenever I get this message, if I go back to Places->Network->NICY (nicy is the name of the server) no shares show. I noticed that connecting to the server in some way (eg opening its webconfig window) makes the shares re-appear... The already mounted shares on the desktop then still do not work BUT if I then unmount and remount them, they work fine !! (for a bit!!) This sounds similar to jimmyKangs problem -- I'm also using 64bit. I've changed to name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host and hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins Any further ideas would be most welcome. many thanks, Nikos -- Connect to smb server by name doesn't work, but by IP address does https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
