Hi all -
I've reported the following bug for the inability to browse samba shares. One workaround that has been proposed was to use Gnome Commander - this only works to a limited degree - see the bug report (link below).
In my opinion this is a bug with Samba - the packets being sent back to the samba server are sent with the last character of the requested directory file dropped and the server sends back an error that it cannot find it. This is why some of you may have noticed that *some* things showed up. If the files "windowsxpisforchumps" and "windowsxpisforchumps2" are in the share, they will show up in Gnome Commander. They will not show up in a share opened with Places->Connect to server - this method apparently won't show files that it doesn't get path info on (the traces for both Gnome Commander and this method are very similar - Gnome Commander just has lower standards )
