FC6: Attach SL Network Drive

I have one of these: http://www.freecom.com/ecproduct_det...sCatID=1146196 attached via Ethernet on a mixed XP/Linux LAN. The windows machines see it easily enough with the supplied software - how can the Linux boxes see it too please?

Do you have Samba running? Can you access any shares on a Windows box from a Linux box? I'm sure the drive uses standard Windows network protocol to share itself.

If you don't have Samba installed, yum can get it for you. Then, use any of the tools to set it up... System / Samba, or Control Center (in KDE) / Internet & Network / Samba and then CC / I&N /Local Network Browsing, or the equivalent if you use GNOME.
