johnisrip Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 How do I see my Windows shares on my Network? I can Internet, email, and news groups, and instant messenger just fine. Just can't see any windows shares. Help! Thanks! [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 What version of Windows? Try LinNeighbourhood or use the Mandrake Control Centre to find the shares. Otherwise use the mount.smbfs command to mount them: #mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //host/share /mnt/target The -o option shouldn't be necessary for completely open shares. Also make sure that you can ping the Windows machine and that your shares are setup properly. :deal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnisrip Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I don't understand how to install Linneighborhood. I think I have installed it but don't find it anywhere to use it. Was hoping it would put a desktop icon up there to use. What version of Windows? Try LinNeighbourhood or use the Mandrake Control Centre to find the shares.

ac_dispatcher Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Do you use KDE? If so try: open up konqueror (or click your Home icon) In the address bar type smb:/// [hit enter] If samba is running it should show you your network. If you have lisa running try: lan:/// [hit enter] Not sure about nautilus but it would think it would work in that too. Also Linneighborhood is old and busted - new hotness is SMB4K :P :P #./flame-vest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 LinNeighbourhood is a little old and bust, but it's nice because it doesn't ONLY show samba network connections, but all of 'em. One day there will be a good global network browser for Linux... one day... I want see all the macs, 'nix boxes and windows pieces of shite on my network in one place...
