Curious. I did look into changing settings in Settings -> Connection -> Connections -> Advanced (My listings are "My ISP" and "My work network")

Allegedly File Manager tries your Modem / VPN / Proxy coonnection first and then the wireless adapter. This seems to work for things like Opera (as long as I choose "Internet" as what the connection connects to) but nada on any \\host\share. If I choose "connects to work" nothing works at all.

Then I'm led to understand I'm not going to be able to connect to a *nix samba share in any case, so I try a windows host. Same results.

I did read recently that it was picky on the sharename, I'll rejigger (yes, that IS the technical term) and report back.
