Re: Nautilus/Gnome Can't Access Vista SMB Shares

Thanks for the response.  I'm running:
	samba-3.0.24-1.fc5
	samba-common-3.0.24-1/fc5
	system-config-samba-1.2.34-1
	samba-client-3.0.24-1.fc5

It does seem that the samba client (smbclient) CAN access Vista
shares. It's just Nautilus (I don't know which SMB client it
uses) that cannot access Vista shares.

Am I the only one having this problem, which would point
to some configuration issue on my part?

Vista has a new version of "samba" ie windows shareing which was made
to NOT work with linux samba clients. But AFAIK new versions of samba
should work, maybe you have an old version.

I'm playing around with Windows Vista, and it seems that Gnome/Nautilus
on FC5 can't access the Vista shares.  Let's say theres a directory
on the Vista system:
        smb://vistaserver/sharename/directory
I can navigate to:
        smb:///
        smb://vistaserver
        smb://vistaserver/sharename
but when I double click on a directory under the share, I get an error
window:
        Nautilus cannot display "smb://vistaserver/sharename/directory".
        Please select another viewer and try again.
The directory icon becomes a generic paper document instead of a folder
at this point.

I can get to the same Vista sharename and directory using smbclient fine:
        $ smbclient //vistaserver/sharename/
        > cd directory
        > dir
        [listing of directory files]

I can also use Nautilus to get to Samba shares as well as Windows XP shares.

Also, other Windows systems are accessing the same Vista share fine.

Looks like an incompatibility with Nautilus or gnome-vfs somewhere.
This is what I'm running:

$ rpm -qa | grep nauti
nautilus-open-terminal-0.7-1.fc5
nautilus-cd-burner-2.14.3-2.fc5
nautilus-sendto-0.4-7.2
nautilus-2.14.3-1.fc5
$ rpm -qa | grep gnome-vfs
gnome-vfs2-devel-2.14.2-1
gnome-vfs2-smb-2.14.2-1
gnome-vfs2-2.14.2-1
gnome-vfs2-2.14.2-1

Any suggestion as to where to look for more detailed error messages would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Khoa
