Unfortunately, this bug remains the same and is experienced by many, but not all people. See the Ubuntu forum:

Although there is a workaround of modifying the LMHOSTS line in smb.conf that will permit access to the shares, it is VERY SLOW yet a windows machine accesses the shares so fast that they seem local. This isn't a Ubuntu issue as I have experienced it on other distributions as well.
