Hi Steve,

Thanks for the informative education. I have been trying anything possible based on what other (Hardy) users have posted as a fix or a 'try this' as it worked for them.

Using Nautilus, when I select my windows server icon under 'Network Servers', Nautilus returns a '0' items available with a blank screen. When I do the same under Feisty, Nautilus displays the shares of my windows server. That is it.

If I type the smb://server/share in the location bar of Nautilus, then the contents of the share are displayed.

When I do:
smbclient -L jessie
I get:

Domain=[JESSIE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

In Fiesty, Nautilus display the shared shares only of course and not the Default Shares ie: E$, F$, G$ and so on.

I would like to have the same results I had with Feisty and I don't understand why I don't. I do apologize if I misunderstood the original post's bug description. I thought it depicted my exact issue. I will search again for a more concise duplicate issue as mine. If you can point me to one that would also be appreciated.

Thank in advance,
Miguel
