Re: Nautilus can't contact SMB master browser.

Rana,

obviously the segfault is a bug :-( I'm pretty sure it's well-known but 
I don't have time to check bugzilla just now.

But the 'cannot contact smb master browser' sounds familiar, I think you 
need samba running for the smb: uris to work. You should be able to view 
your own machine with 'smbclient -L 127.0.0.1', if that fails you may 
need to go to the samba documentation. In particular check that smbd and 
nmbd are actually running, and that you aren't stopping either of them 
from talking in iptables (iptables -L). Yes, these basic services need 
to 'just work', its kind of in the domain of distributors at the moment.

Cheers,
Long.
