First thanks for the help on this nautilus/samba problem. I just hope it helps with Marc's problem as well. This is the first time I have actually seen a list of the systems on the network via the nautilus browser on a FC2 system. I have found a new wrinkle for this. During much of the testing I disabled iptables just to make sure they were not causing any problems. After having success at getting nautilus to see the systems in the workgroup and access shares I enabled iptables again and re-ran the tests. The first part worked ok, I could see the workgroups listed in the second window. However, when I tried to bring up the list of systems in one of the workgroups I get an error window with the following message: Error Displaying Folder The folder contents could not be displayed. Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Netowrk: workgroup" I have the following ports opened up in iptables: 137:udp 138:udp 139:tcp 445:tcp I have also tried this with both udp and tcp ports on each of those. Same results. So at the moment this is working with iptables disabled but when it is enabled it does not work. -- Scot L.
