Hi

Seems to me that you're referring to another bug. What I've observed is that
the "Network" is working but not "predictably". For example, if you login
and go to nautilus -> network, it is empty. If you leave things as they are
for 5-10 minutes, then try again, there are some things appearing. I dont
browse the network, I usually map the drives directly with smbfs. However, I
did notice this behavior so maybe you should watch out for it - leave it as
it is for 5-10 minutes, then open Nautilus -> Network again....

Maybe it is dependent on the number of machines on the network? For us it is
more than 200...
