SAMBA and Nautilus

[Gord Jeoffroy]

Peter!

I've heard Nautilus doesn't like Windows 2000, and I've experienced the same problem trying to browse to an XP Pro desktop.

Nautilus doesn't work, but the smbmount command does IF I use the "-o ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" option. You might like to try that.

There's a Samba/Nautilus how-to here: http://webserver.smast.umassd.edu/System_Admin_Guide/rhel-sag-en-3/s1-samba-connect-share.html

And an smbmount man page here: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbmount..8.html

Cheers!

I got Samba up and running a few weeks ago, and now my 2 Windows pc's (1 
XP + 1 W98)  can access my Linux files.  I can also access the Windows 
shares from my linux pc at the command line.

But I can't access the Windows shares from my Nautilus file manager. 
What's the secret here?  I'm thinking I'm not specifying the location 
quite right?  But maybe something else has to be tweaked.  Any suggestions?

Btb, I'm running Nautilus vn. 2.0.6, and RH 8.

Thx very much.
