Maybe "configured shared on the Windows machine" doesn't mean what I think it does. I've gone on the administrator's account on the XP machine and follwed the help instructions (created a folder, right-clicked, selected "sharing", told it to share the folder on the network) 2. Maybe something more is needed on my computer. I installed samba (and swat and samba-client) on my FC2 machine, via "yum install samba" (and the corresponding commands for the other 2). The samba servers seem to start (smbd and nmbd are running) and swat works. The XP machine can see me (there is a "Samba Server (Trevor)" icon in the My Network Places) but it can not connect to me (double clicking on that icon results in a path not found or not reachable error or something). 3. I can't do as you say: smb://ISAAC in a Konqueror window. "Could not connect to host for smb://isaac/" Any ieas about where I should start looking? -- Trevor Smith // trevor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
