Behind you... Naked!
Ok, hear me out here...

I got 2 Linux PCs here, one is my AMD 9590. Mint MATE. AMD Graphics. Creative Recon3D Audio
The other is an Intel 7700. Mint Cinnamon. nVidia Graphics. Creative ZXR Audio

They are both running exactly the same everything,. but one is MATE and the other CINNAMON. Other than that, they are exactly the same as I can get them.
Linux Mint 22 - Kernel 6.8.0-51-generic

The thing is, that the AMD, when I open the Network, sees everything I need it to.
The Server, the 2-DLink NAS Boxes and the 2 Netgeat NAS boxes, my Media PC, the Windows PCs, and well everything.
When I click on them, they open and away I go... I might need to enter the login info when it asks, but sure, thats fine.

The Intel one however, only sees the NAS boxes and while it will open the DLINKS, it does not open the Netgears, and it does not show ANYTHINGS ELSE! - It does show itself though!

I have even copied the smb.conf over to try to help out, but it does nothing?

And no, I tried addign MATE and running that, but of course it didnt help.

Its got to be somethign stupid as this has been an issue for me for a long time, but the AMD actually works as it should, and I have not really done much to do that? - These are both relatively new installs.
 
Sorry, one thing that I failed to mention...

If I enter the direct URL then it does access that folder.

For example
My Drive M on the Server ( Windows 10 ) has my home movies on it. It is shared as SVR-MOVIES

so if I enter

smb://server/c/
smb://server/svr-movies/
smb://server/svr-programs/

Then I do access those folders ( Weirdly, I cannot access M: even though its the same? )

This does NOT happen on the NAS Drives though?
 
Probably something related to gvfs and its backends, or avahi (mdns). I assume firewall is the same between the two installs? Local network discovery is usually either missing mdns/gvfs backends, or a firewall block.
