Bug#292688: nautilus can't open a smb share on a win2k server

[Greg Orlowski]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.8.2-2

When I click on "network" in nautilus, I can view the server
"xxx-srv02", but when I click on that server (which is a win2k server
with 2 smb shares), I get the following error msg:

Error message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The folder contents could not be displayed.

You do not have the permissions necessary to view the 
contents of "Windows Network: xxx-srv02".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I explicitly select "open location", and enter:

smb://myusername@xxx-srv02/sharename

I am prompted to enter username, password, domain. I enter all of them
correctly, but nautilus simply hangs with the spinning wheel indicator
spinning endlessly.

I can use smbclient or smbmount/mount -t smbfs to either navigate the
share or mount it from a terminal with the same username/password.

Additionally, sometimes when I click on "network" to view all the
shares on the network, nautilus hangs with the same endlessly spinning
wheel, and in order to browse the shares I have to exit xwindows and
re-enter (I may be able to remedy the problem by issuing a "killall
nautilus" as root as well, but I'm not sure).

I can correctly access smb shares on linux machines that are running
samba. I also find that smb shares on WINNT machines do not work
properly (while smbclient and smbmount work fine with them).
