Bug Description
I could access shares on my Windows-based network without any issues on Friday (2008-03-28). After installing updates released since then on Monday morning (2008-03-31), I can no longer access any network shares. I can browse to domains/workgroups and servers- but no shares are shown in Nautilus and if I repeatedly try to access them- my network account gets locked-out (as if I were submitting an invalid password). My password was previously saved, and I am not being prompted to enter/re-enter it.
Not sure if this is a samba-client issue or a problem with Gnome or Nautilus.
Ubuntu hardy (development branch) Release: 8.04

For what it is worth- I'm having the same problem on three different machines.
If I try to attach directly (instead of just browsing) using the "Connect to Server" option in Places, I get an error:
Can't display location "smb:// windowsserver/ "
No application is registered as handling this file.
I'm assuming an SMB app. got dropped or misconfigured in a recent update.
