If you entered a password, it didn't work.

You can see them for the same reason they were listed above. The
"browse" is different than the mount... (wow, the innuendo with that

That looks like name resolution (note I'm guessing that by the bad
network name, in BIG CAPITAL letters, above). Does "ping acerf10"
work?

/var/log/samba

Based on what you missed above, no it's not funny, and probably not
even related to Samba.

No, based on the facts so far, you can't assume gvfs-samba is broken.
