sharing files over lan from KDE using samba
I have a lan connecting several windows systems and several Linux systems. I have samba configured to allow file sharing in certain places for a common user name and it seems to work mostly. If I look at Network Neighbors on a windows machine it sees all the other machines in the workgroup. But on a Linux box (Slackware64 14) using KDE and dolphin file manager the network sharing doesn't work. Outside of KDE (console), running findsmb only finds the local host and not the others. Running smbclient -L //{ip} -U {user} will get me a list of the specified host so the servers are working but I can't figure out how to make the file managers on KDE see the network. Under sharing I have set the proper username and password and samba does know the proper workgroup but doesn't find any hosts in it, not even its own. So how do I get the file manager to connect me to the shared files like Windows does?
