I am absolutely confused...
For example I have a FEDORA pc and a Windows (MAXDATA name on the network running XP professional, but similar results with XP Home machines) connected.
1) If I issue the command findsmb i get:
*=DMB
+=LMB
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
192.168.0.1 FEDORA *[FEDORA] [Unix] [Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3]no trace of the Windows machine....
2) I issue the command: smbclient -L //MAXDATA Password: Domain=[MAXDATA] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

--------- ------- Workgroup Master
--------- -------3) If i digit the command smb:/// in Nautilus I see my Workgroup, then I click on it and I see the list of the connected machines, I click on my MAXDATA machine and I see the shares, but when I click on a shared folders, Nautilus freezes, no password request....and I have to kill Nautilus by System Monitor...
4) If I digit smb://192.168.0.5/ (that is IP number of MAXDATA) everything works fine..I can access my shared folders through Nautilus, copy, delete files, etc, etc.....
5) If I digit smb://MAXDATA/ I get the poor results like point 3.
Samba shares on my Fedora machine are fine and seen on all network What am I missing???
