it really would be nice to able to configure the Domain-Server or Workgroup
of a MS-Net when you install Ubuntu or be able to search it automatically.

You must fiddle around with config files to get the correct name.

Older versions had a configuration (The old network manager) to setup this.

I also have that problem with Nautilus.

> Bug description:
> Binary package hint: nautilus
>
> Using hardy beta, when I browse with nautilus other machines in an Active
> Directory (ADS) network, some of them do not show their shared folders.
> The ADS integration of the hardy box was done using winbind, kerberos and
> PAM libraries, essentially as described here:
> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
> The network contains mostly windows clients, but also several linux boxes,
> which were joined to the ADS domain with the command: 'net ads join'.
> Machines running windows XP, windows 2003 and samba show '0 objects' in
> nautilus, but after inserting the complete path (eg.: smb://server/share)
> the folders can be accessed after the password prompt.
> Machines running windows 2000 show their folders regularly.

> Here is a detailed description of what happens:
>
> Case 1
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Browsing from hardy-beta a machine running ubuntu-gutsy server.
>
> In a terminal window:
>
> renbag@vm-hardy:~$ smbclient -L gutsy-server
> Password: (password inserted here)
> Domain=[LAB] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
>  Sharename Type Comment
>  --------- ---- -------
>  IPC$ IPC IPC Service (gutsy-server (Samba 3.0.26a, Ubuntu))
>  share Disk gutsy-server_share
> Domain=[LAB] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
>
> In Nautilus:
>
> Open Network --> Double-click on the 'LAB' icon (Domain) --> All machines
> are displayed;
> Double-click on the 'gutsy-server' icon --> after a while, Nautilus returns
> '0 objects', without asking for a password;
> Insert the full address (smb://gutsy-server/share) --> a password is
> requested and the share content is displayed.
>
> Case 2
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Browsing from hardy-beta a machine running Windows XP
>
> In a terminal window:
>
> renbag@vm-hardy:~$ smbclient -L XP-ACQ
> Password: (password inserted here)
> Domain=[LAB] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
>  Sharename Type Comment
>  --------- ---- -------
>  IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
>  Data Disk
> Domain=[LAB] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
>
> In Nautilus:
>
> Same behaviour as in case 1.
> smb://XP-ACQ --> '0 objects';
> smb://XP-ACQ/Data --> content displayed after password.
>
> Case 3
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Browsing from hardy-beta a machine running Windows 2000
>
> In a terminal window:
>
> renbag@vm-hardy:~$ smbclient -L TF-2000
> Password: (password inserted here)
> Domain=[LAB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
>  Sharename Type Comment
>  --------- ---- -------
>  IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
>  Data Disk
