Samba problem?


Ok, I finally found a way to connect to my Windows File server on my LAN in Gnome.

I click on: Computer > Network > Windows Network > File > Open Location

and in the address bar I type smb://192.168.1.103/share

I then see all my Folders on my Windows 2000 server.

When I try and select any of the folders to access the files...I get this error...???

Cannot open My Pictures

The filename "My Pictures" indicates that this file is of type "Folder". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "Unknown type". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.

Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "Unknown type", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.

man smbclient | less
man smbmount | less

Those two man pages will fill you in on how to do what you need.
