Hello all, * Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using Fedora 5 * I'm having a problem when I open files from network (system - remote places - workgroup - computer - share...) sorry if the words are not correct. location bar looks like this: smb://workgroup/ I click on a computer and a share of it. smb://comp/share/ I can see the workgroups and the computers, but when I try to open a file like .pdf or .doc, .xls, .... by clicking on it, the program ( eg.: openoffice) starts to open, but closes whith no erros and the file dosn't open. when I copy the file to a local place or when I mount the share to a local folder, it works. Any ideas? It was working on a older distro, fedora 4 and others... I look it up on the net but no luky... thanks.

You have just discovered one of the greatest weaknesses of Gnome: VFS. Since gnome uses its own virtual file system, only a few applications are able to open files on remote computers when you click on them in Nautilus. If you samba share had been mounted the proper way, then every application could have taken advantage of it, but this is not the case. But I should not complain, since I do not have the time or talent to fix it :) -- Trond Danielsen
