This config is relevant I believe and shouldn't have been removed!

I can manually in Nautilus connect to freenas, but it should be  
possible to see freenas
when I click on Windows Network.  What am I missing to be able to  
browse to my freenas
server in Nautilus without manually connecting?  I am not thinking I  
need a manual mount
or autofs to be able to browse in Nautilus to a freenas server.   
Freenas implements cifs
I believe and is probably Samba 3.x based.

I'm running into a lot of you have to set the workgroup to WORKGROUP  
nonsense online, my workgroup is
roch.robinson-west.com.  What does Nautilus use on the backend to be  
able to browse a Windows Network?
