hello all, How can my FC3 access to the windows boxes in the same network? My samba is working but i can not see any windows com's name in the windows network under the network server. i tried Redhat9.0 before and it could access to other systems with ease but i don know why FC3 cannot. Shall i configure anything for samba? pls help me thanks in advance
Hey,
I don't know how to access the windows share through network neighbourhood in linux.But you can access the windows shares on linux.
mount -t smbfs //windows_machine/share_folder /linux_mount/directory -o user=windows_user
then it will ask for the password give the password of the windows user you will be able to access the windows shares. You have to do this for all the windows shares.
For fstab entry
//windows_machine/share_folder /linux_mount/directory smbfs credentials =/etc/.smb 0 0
in /etc/.smb file
username = windows_username(valid windows user)
password =windows username's password
If your trying to access win2k3 shares you will receive errors
for win2k3 shares use CIFS
mount -t cifs //windows_machine/share_folder /linux_mountpoint/directory -o username=windows_user
then it will ask for the password
For fstab entry
replace smbfs with cifs in the previous entry.

Same problem here, trying to access shared Windows folders is a pain(sometimes it works, sometimes not, some shared folders seems to be more accessible than others): and it was working in previous releases.
