I have a Hardy Heron machine that is trying to connect to a share on a Gutsy machine and I get the same problem trying to connect to the share. If I follow the instructions to remove 'wins' from nsswitch on both sides (it was only originally on the Gutsy machine), enable the mdns4 on both sides then I can connect and browse using the ".local" suffix. Thing is I didn't want to have to type that...
This is without any change to the resolve order in smb.conf To try and enable .local-less resolution and correct connecting and browsing I added wins to the nsswitch.conf line and uncommented the resolve order in smb.conf and set it to have wins at the end. But this did not work (although I could now ping without .local again) and the nautilus error on connecting to a share returned. I think I'm going to resign myself to having to type .local all the time... -- 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
