I first sent this e-mail over the weekend, I'm resending it today because I still need help. FC9 was a clean install and I'm using gnome windows.


With fc8 I had no trouble connecting to my home and work windows pc's.
Same laptop fc9  not working.  I check  samba  and smb.conf  and can see
nothing wrong. the only thing  I have found  is  doing  ps -ef on smp.
the 1st looks ok

[root@ltop ~]# ps -ef | grep smb
root      2424     1  0 18:26 ?        00:00:00 smbd -D
root      2459  2424  0 18:26 ?        00:00:00 smbd -D
root      3507  3485  0 18:29 pts/0    00:00:00 grep smb

but after trying to connect this is what I get.

[root@ltop ~]# ps -ef | grep smb
root      2424     1  0 18:26 ?        00:00:00 smbd -D
root      2459  2424  0 18:26 ?        00:00:00 smbd -D
root      3532     1  0 18:30 ?        00:00:00
/usr/libexec/gvfsd-smb-browse --spawner :1.7 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/3
root      3555  3485  0 18:30 pts/0    00:00:00 grep smb
Any ideas would be welcome.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you do not have the nmb daemon running, you have to supply the IP address of hte Windows machine, or the address has to be resolvable.

You may also want to check the firewall settings on the F9 machine to see that it will allow the Samba connection. (I believe there was an option for this during setup.)
