Same problem here with Karmic Koala, half-solved. The server is a Windows 2008 server. The Linux machine has only the client part of samba. The IP addresses are fix.
In konqueror: smb://servername works fine smb://10.0.0.211 works fine smb:/workgroup/servername fails I found that my problem had two origins : - I had to start the "Browser" service on the windows server - the syntax "smb:/workgroup/servername" seems to have stopped working in KDE (???) but "smb://workgroup/" works fine and the final functionality is the same I hope that helps. -- smb workgroup detection takes too long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73591 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
