Cannot browse network on Ubuntu 18.04

I have installed a clean copy of Ubuntu 18.04



If I try to load Network:/// I get 'This location could not be displayed'



In terminal, smbtree does infact give me the tree for the network and I can see the machines which have file shares I want to access



But if I try smb://computername/share, I once again get 'This location could not be displayed'
