Cinnamon Nemo Network Search Tab Samba shares could not be retrieved

Hi all,

i have a problem with nemo filemanager on Cinnamon. At the left side of nemo there is a list entry for "Network". If i select
this entry, nemo shows me in the main area my network devices, eg. my NAS.

If i now select my NAS for showing me my Network shares (samba shares), nemo says, that, it is not possible to mount this device.

"Unable to mount the location, receiving the share list from the server failed"

If i select the path manualy via smb://<ip of my NAS> in nemo, it works.

I have installed:

avahi (also enabled it)
dbus
smbclient
gvfs-smb
nemo-share

Any suggestions, what could be missing here?

Thanks and regards
Danyo

Avahi has to be configured properly via nsswitch.conf
