Bug Description
This maybe a configuration mismatch between gvfs and dnsmasq.
I am running Xubuntu on Yakkety
I have a Synology DiskStation (a NAS), which provides a Samba share. I have a DD-WRT router (has dnsmasq be default). Both are on near default setting.
In Xenial, I was able to navigate to the DiskStation via Thunar -> Browse Network -> DiskStation. In Yakkety, I am able to see the DiskStation, however I got the following error when trying to access it:
Failed to open "DISKSTATION"
Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection Refused.
After some digging, I found that `gvfs-tree network:///` showed the following
```
network:///
|-- dnssd-domain-
`-- smb-root -> smb:///
```
In Xenial, I am able to ping DiskStation.local, but in Yakkety, it does not resolve to anything.
There is no problem with `gvfs-mount smb://DiskStation/` or typing `smb://
From what I gathered Yakkety desktop comes with dnsmasq installed. This may be a bug with dnsmasq configuration, or gvfs's interaction with it.

I have since resolved this by setting up LAN domain via router's Dnsmasq.
