Comment 1 for bug 208531

I believe the problems I am experiencing with 8.04-beta live CD are related to this bug. My share server is a Trendnet TS-U200 flash card appliance with two shares configured; //fileshare/SD_MMC_c is public, //fileshare/CF_a requires a user name and password. These shares are working properly with 7.10 (live or installed).

My observations with 8.04 beta live (samba-common and smbclient version 3.0.28a-0ubuntu3) are:

Using the network browser, I can discover fileshare and see the SD_MMC_c and CF_a shares.

When I select the public share SD_MMC_c, the network browser hangs with a blank window but a network folder icon is created on the desktop. Double clicking the desktop icon opens a new file browser window with the share contents and also breaks the hang in the original window which now displays the contents also.

When I select the private share CF_a, I get a dialog window asking for username, domain and password. Although I fill these in correctly, I receive an error message "Unable to mount location - Failed to mount Windows share". I am also unable to connect to this share by using the Places -> Connect to Server dialog.

Using smbclient, I get these behaviors:

Connecting to the public share using
$ smbclient //fileshare/SD_MMC_c
is successful when just hitting [ENTER] at the password prompt.

Connecting to the private share using
$ smbclient //fileshare/CF_a --user=myname%mypassword
fails with the following messages:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.8a]
Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client use lanman auth' is disabled
tree connect failed: SUCCESS - 0
