Many thanks that has been my problem I cannot get confirmation that this 
is a bug, I have been using the fed forum but have not been able to 
confirm that this problem is shared by others as all replies are the 
same as me that command line mounting is ok. I had checked bugzilla but 
could not see any related issues. All I really need is someone to 
confirm that this is a general problem with 
gnome/nautilus/gvfs/autofs/samba or whateverI have no idea on what to 
post a bug under. Then again I cannot believe that if this is a bug it 
would not have been picked up on, this would really make f9 a real pain 
to use in the real world having to manually mount shares all the time, 
so I am once again uncertain as to posting a bug. If someone can confirm 
that they have or have not a problem with browsing network shares(samba) 
in gnome it would help me greatly.
