I decided to see what I can do with Computer->Network in nautilus. Well, one can click on that and this opens a window with something which says "Windows Network". The catch is that I do not have any "Windows Network" around so this is kinda useless. I do have some, say, NFS servers exporting various file systems and in section 7.8.2 of nautilus help one can read this:

<quote> To access UNIX shares, double-click on the Unix Network (NFS) object. A list of the UNIX shares available to you is displayed in the file manager window. </quote>

Well, there is no "Unix Network" to double-click on but

<quote> 7.8.2.1 To Add a Network Place

To add a network place, perform the following steps:

1. Open the file manager and choose Places->Computer. Alternatively, double-click on the Computer object on the Desktop. A file object window is displayed.

2. Double-click on the Add Network Place object. The Add Network Place dialog is displayed. ... </quote>

Try as might I cannot find any "Add Network Place object". OK, so maybe not everything is lost. We have in documentation this:

<quote> 7.8.3.1 To Add a Network Server

To add a network server, choose Applications->Network Servers. A file object window is displayed. Double-click on the New Server object. A New Server dialog is displayed. Enter the name of the server in the dialog, then click OK. <quote>

There are "Network Servers" on the main menu but choosing that opens again useless "Windows Network" and no "New Server object" around as far as I can discern.

Is this just a normal nautilus behaviour or I am missing something profound? I tried with the latest nautilus-2.6.0-6 from rawhide but earlier versions looked exactly the same.
