I have the same problem too. Seems that there is a problem with konqueror - running Nautilus within KDE worked, and so did using the command line to browse.
I also tried your idea of running within the command line, no error messages.
Yeah, I am talking about browsing a network. It may be possible that somewhere in smb.conf it says to mount something... I forget.
But anyhow, I can browse the network and see the laptop running win98. Nautilus browses it fine, the command prompt does too, but Konqueror hangs up trying to get within a folder on the laptop.
Yeah... Konq isn't really that great of a program... I much prefer nautilus... actually the one I'm really beginning to like is the XFce borwsing system... it's actually several different programs, but they work really well together and it is a lot faster than Naut. or Konq... I've actually been using their network prog(xfsamba) to browse my network and it works really well...
I have the same problem, i have tried to launch Konqueror from Terminal and here is the log it have show me.
ASSERT: "dir" in konq_treeviewwidget.cc (197)
QDict: Cannot insert null item
ASSERT: "dir" in konq_treeviewwidget.cc (197)
QDict: Cannot insert null item
I have succesfully browsed folders from Nautilus, Terminal, etc without changing any configuration or installing any package. I'm quite sure the problem is in Konqueror.
I 'll try to get the new release.( I have Red Hat 9.0 distribution, Konqueror 3.1-12 running over KDE 3.1-10).
I have also the exact same problem. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 and I can mount samba shares using the commandline, and I can browse them using xsmbrowser or nautilus, but konqueror just hangs when I try to open a shared directory.
