I have exactly the same problem on a brand new install of Ubuntu 11.10
when I try to "Browse Network".

All my shares are visible from Windows machines and those running Ubuntu
11.04.

I get "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from
server" when I try to access a shareon a Ubuntu 11.10 machine (which is
visible from Windows 7), or a share on a Window 7 machine.

Bizarely I can actually see shares on a WIndows 2003 server when I try
to connect from the Ubuntu 11.10 machine!

To repeat the previous comment, testing interworking with Windows and
fixing bugs in this area should be a top priority - Ubuntu is useless
without connectivity to the rest of the universe.
