Nautilus: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4

In Ubuntu 17.10 I could go into "Other Locations -> Windows Network" and my Samba servers would automatically show up. I did a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 on two machines. Now, "Windows Network" immediately comes up with "Folder is Empty" on the two 18.04 machines and the Samba servers are no longer automatically found. My 17.10 machines still work fine.

However, I can still manually type in the information in "Connect to Server" and the 18.04 machines connect just fine.

It's the "automatically finding the servers" part that is no longer working.

I suspect it's related to the problem that 18.04 is no longer automatically finding printers like 17.10 did either.
