Network Servers Problem

[mloiterman]

Browsing network servers no longer works for me after updating Samba-common and installing Samba-client and Samba.

I can use the command-line tool smbclient withour problems, other machines can browse my machines samba shares as well.

When I go to Network Servers, my workgroup shows up...i double-click on it and it shows all the local machines, but when I try to open one of them up I get a dialog saying Opening Machine XXX. With a cancel button. Then it just times out.

If I type in the location bar smb://workgroup/server it says that it can't find a viewer to open it.

Any ideas?

Which version of Fedora Core are you using?

I'm having the same problem too. No servers apear in the Network Servers window, however direct connection works. I have samba 3.0.4-2 and I have not got iptables running so no firewall. smbclient does work and shows all the machines in the network. I am not and the master browser in the network, and don't want to be.

Anybody worked out whats wrong with this?
