I would think the same situation would apply (whether it was Nautilus or Konqueror). Not everything can access a file via a SMB type of URI. Even some Windows applications can't, you have to map it to a drive letter. Clicking on some SMB://server/file.doc file in a file browser and hoping that some other application, that can't directly open a file through the SMB:// protocol, isn't going to work. You'd only expect that to work if the application's own open-file dialogue supports the SMB:// protocol. Last time I tried KDE, the few things I tried it with didn't. For things that don't, you want to mount the share onto the Linux file tree, one way or another. Entries in the /etc/fstab file that are done at boot time are one way. Or you can use one of the various auto-mounter schemes (I've no hints about how to do that, I don't do it). I have an entry in my fstab file to mount a Windows 98 share, like this: //server/SHARED /mnt/server/shared smbfs noauto,uid=tim,gid=tim,noexec,nodev If it were for something which understood multi-user ownership, like Windows 2000, I doubt I'd need to specify uid or gid paramaters. See the man files for mount and fstab, to get you started. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
