Bug Description
I have a SAMBA server for my home. I've setup shares that are guest-accessible, but are only writable by authenticated users.
On a windows box, it shows a prompt asking for the password - if it is provided, the access is authenticated. If it isn't provided, it falls to the guest access.
But, on a Ubuntu box, using nautilus to browse to "network", it doesn't ask for the password, and there are no options on Gnome GUI to set the user/password to use when connecting to the share. The only way to access the shares with the proper permission is editing the /etc/fstab file, as said on the guide : https:/
The expected is to have a prompt when connecting, asking the password or suggesting the use of guest account, or having a "properties" on the server, where one can set the username/password to use.

I totally agree on this one. Integrating an Ubuntu desktop in an existing Windows networking environment is simply painfull at the moment and seriously slows Ubuntu adoption in a Windows-dominated world. And by that, it's slowing progress on fixing bug #1. Confirmed.
