Bug Description
Hi,
Connect to Server... doesn't let me connect to my windows share by server name, but works fine by IP address.
The error message displayed is "Couldn't display "smb://
If I map by IP address, then it works OK. My machine can ping the server by name, so it's resolving it no problem.
Can you help?
Andy

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. If you go to Places -> Network -> Windows Network can you find your server and the share you are trying to access? Thanks in advance.
