However, my friend has almost identical machine and he is running gentoo - konqueror shows shares correctly. Another thing is that when I "smbmount" some share I see files with spaces correctly. > Are you using smb to connect to a windows share, linux computer to linux > computer or some other method. > > I'll try SAMBA via linux computer to SAMBA share tomorrow.

But using nautilus on my fedora computer I can not browse shared folders with spaces. It does not depend on what I browse - windows or linux computer. > Another question, are you using vfat, ext3 or another type of > filesystem?

Only thing I noticed that when I tried to browse a share on win2k computer with ntfs the gnome-vfs-deamon starter "eating" VM. The deamon took over 1.2 GB of VM, while nautilus couldn't display anything (I killed gnome-vfs-deamon). It's strange, but having one incident we can not say that isssue is fs related. > I just noticed the arch difference. I have an i686 and your problem is 64 bit. Did you install an i386 version on your computer also? Can you see if it acts the same way with a 32 bit installation? The computer that I'm having a problem is 64 bit and installed os is 64 bit. I have 32 bit computer at home, but I didn't upgraded it to fc4, so I can not confirm this issue, sorry. > > Jim > I whish I had more computers to test this issue... Kaz
