Network Servers unable to browse network

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have gone around this problem multiple times in the last month or
two.  

Under FC1 and FC2 there is a Network Servers item in the menu.  Under
FC1 I can select this and get a window that lists the workgroups seen by
the server.  Clicking on the workgroup I can then see and browse any of
the windows or samba servers on the network. Works as expected under
FC1.

I have yet to see this work under FC2.  When I select the Network
Servers item it waits a few seconds then displays an icon saying Windows
Network.  Select that icon I get an empty window.

I can use the Connect to Server option under the file menu just fine. 
So I don't believe I have any kind of a firewall issue.  I can connect
to smb shares to and from the FC2 systems in question, just do not see
any systems listed under the Network Servers windows.

I see the same behavior on multiple FC2 systems.

I recall some past discussion about this on the list but I do not
remember seeing any kind of resolution.  

Have I missed the solution for this?  Or is this a known problem that
has not been resolved yet?
