J restarted the computer since there was no improvement in the network gvfs browser display of SMB.
Thunar 1.8 uses gvfs for cifs. Is gvfs installed? Maybe the permissions are wrong for the run directory used by gvfs. What is "ls -ld /run/user/1000/gvfs"?
And years ago my isp insisted that we all use their DNS, I have used whatever they provided, presently the isp is owned by Viasat. The dns seems to work for me.
ISPs have monitarized DNS. My ISP blocks DNS over TLS. I have been seeing ads related to web sites visited by other household members. My previous ISP mapped unknown addresses to ad pages.
