I have a network of 5 computers which has been working fine until
recently. I have one
FC5 box setup as a samba server, and there are 4 other boxes using
Windows XP or 98.
Findsmb displays all the computers on the network, and the windows
machines can access
the shared files/folders, and can print through the FC box, but when I
try to browse the network
in Gnome, be it through "places>Network Servers>Windows
Network>workgroup, or through
the other gnome network tools, I get the following message:
The folder contents could not be displayed.
Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: workgroup".
Somehow one of the system updates in the last few days, has mangled
things, and I
am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot it. I have tried google, but so
far haven't been
able to find anything relevant.
I can ping the various boxes, but for some reason Nautilus cannot view
them.
I have the same trouble as user and as root.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
