If I log in to a windows computer, I have access to certain shares on the windows network. On my FC4 computer, I can see all the shares although the one I have direct access to on the windows computer is sort of buried but I can find it with effort. But when I try to access it, it doesn't bring up a user/password panel - it just says it cannot connect to the host (or something to that effect). If I try to connect to other shares that I don't have permission to access, I either get the same message or it brings up a user/password panel. What do I have to do to get the same access under FC4? I've tried using smb4k, linneighborhood, etc. to try to figure out what the problem is. Do I need to be a domain member to access the shares? I've accessed shares on windows network in the past at another institution using Linux. I've tried using smbclient. I've also set up my home directory as a share. Again, I can see it - sort of. I've temporarily made it accessible to anyone and still if I try to access the share (which I can "see" a folder for), it says it doesn't exist. I've been primarily using konqueror using smb:/. It shows the shares although sometimes it's easier to see them and sometimes harder. Nautilus doesn't show much if anything if I click on windows network. Any ideas? Rick B.
