Nautilus crashes, if I try to view network shares

Hi!
I have a problem with Nautilus. Any time I try to view Windows network shares in "Computer" => "Network", Nautilus crashes with just this error message

The Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly.

You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it.  Or you can restart the application right now.

Yesterday it worked. Then I installed some other programms (I don't remember every library, utility etc., so I can't write you what it was, exactly)  and then it started to make problems. I tried to run nautilus from gnome-terminal, but it writes nothing (no error). I have samba, smbclient and gnome-vfs installed (GNOME 2.12.1, samba 3.0.20-6 , smbclient 3.0.20-1) and smbd and nmbd are running, of course. Samba works. I tried also to login as a different user, but it does the same.
Do you have any idea? Thanks for anything.

And if I type:

smb://NAME_OF_THE_COMPUTER

in the location line (in Nautilus), it works.

I have a similar issue I can view smb shares but when I mount a share and change a file like if I'm wokring in gimp nautilus just closes.

Re: Nautilus crashes, if I try to view network shares

Whenever I click on "Places->Network Servers", Nautilus will just freeze up, and I either have to pkill it or wait 5 minutes. One time I clicked on it and had to leave the room and when I came back it finally opened, but it was like 5 minutes later.

I just tried using smb:// to connect to my other PC and it worked that way. In my home network this isn't that big of a deal since I know the names of all the computers, but if I were ever to connect to a larger network I'd like to see this fixed.

Re: Nautilus crashes, if I try to view network shares

The freezing for minutes is probably caused by mDNSResponder
