Hey All
I just installed Fedora and all went well. The only problem I have is trying to brows the network using the "NETWORK SERVERS" returns this error "Couldn't display "smb:///", because Nautilus cannot contact the SMB master browser" Samba is running and this worked fine on RH9 ( which I though Fedora basically was ) I have see a few posts but no real fixes. I am updating everything now and hopefully that fix it. If someone has a post that answers this or knows the answer I would appreciate it.
i should be able to assume this because of the nature of your question, but you do have other windows pc's on the network, right? (that is what samba is for, after all ) ok, just checking. correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't samba a microsoft protocol? as such, wouldn't it be hard for linux OSS developers to get their software to work properly? i don't have any answers, just wanted to say stuff
