Description Christopher Sawyer 2010-03-07 14:55:36 UTC 
Version:           1.4 (using 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1) "release 225", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop

When opening Dolphin, try to browse to a SMB server that contains an underscore in its WINS/DNS name.

i.e.  smb://dev_tenn


Dolphin doesn't produce an error, but kicks back to the Network view and does not attempt to connect to the server.


Workaround:   Use the IP address of the server instead

Seems to work fine nowadays.

- adding 'netbios name = foo_server' to smb.conf's global section
- restart all smb related services
- dolphin smb://foo_server lists shares of that server
