Comment 23 for bug 235560

Hello all,

I'm afraid I'm having the same problem.
I'm trying to connect to the Samba shares on a NAS-4220-B Icybox.

I keep getting Couldn't display "smb://192.168.1.64/nikos/.. There is no application installed for this file type" messages.

I now realize this is a misleading message as it has nothing to do with 'no application [being] installed' but rather with an inability to access the shares. Whenever I get this message, if I go back to Places->Network->NICY (nicy is the name of the server) no shares show.

I noticed that connecting to the server in some way (eg opening its webconfig window) makes the shares re-appear... The already mounted shares on the desktop then still do not work BUT if I then unmount and remount them, they work fine !! (for a bit!!)

This sounds similar to jimmyKangs problem -- I'm also using 64bit.

I've changed to
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host
and
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins

Any further ideas would be most welcome.

many thanks,

Nikos
