Sebastien -

A recent update to Hardy seems to have eliminated one problem - that of only being able to see into a W2003 share by declaring a folder in it. In that respect Hardy now behaves as Gutsy did, and I can see the top level directories.

Possibly following the same release, I can now browse the 'Windows' network as I would expect. It's not a feature I use often (6 domain/workgroups, 400+ hosts) so I cannot be certain of the pre-mod state.

I have mixed W2003/old Mandrake/current Debian servers, 1000 users with 3 levels of security. The Windows severs are whatever they are, the Linux servers all configured 'security = user' and mostly PDCs. So not really relevant to this thread? though several symptoms seem to be shared,

For obvious reasons there is a limited amount of testing I can do, but if I have anything of value (to this or any other thread/bug) just ask.

I also have a much smaller scale but similar set up at home which I used to use to pilot development work. This home network is still pretty important to my family but I can and do play with it from time to time. Time is my problem, but if there's any way I can help you can always ask - I will say yes if I can. But bear in mind, please, that I'm a user rather than a builder.

I have a half term break next week - when I will not be on the big network.
