cant see windows shares in konqueror
 
hello,
i have windows xp sharing w/mandrake 9.1 ok. the only problem is i cant see windows files in konqueror. i can see them ok when i use the smbclient. i'm a little stumped because i thought the smb ioslave in konqueror was just a frontend for smbclient. any suggestions welcome..
thanx

Type in the adressbar:
smb://user@machine/folder
This is the syntax.

is the windows and mandy in same system? if so u need to mount it first

no i tried youre suggestions but still dont see any files. its weird cause i do get a list of shared folders when i issue command smb:/windows_workgroup/computername. but when i click on any directory i get a blank window pane that says 0 files 0 directories in status bar. the setup is i'm using windows xp on desktop, mdk 9.1 w/kde 3.1 on a laptop. smbclient /computer_name/directory @ prompt gets me in no problem and i can list any directory...

You probably omitted the "browseable" option.

eroica 07-09-2005 06:36 PM
could u be more specific. what is the "broseable" opttion?

This is an option in the shares defined in /etc/samba/smb.conf which make folder browseables, i.e. you can look inside.

eroica 07-11-2005 08:05 PM
yeah my smb.conf file is very basic. do u know what is the exact syntax to add this to the file?

browseable = No
take also a look at man smb.conf

eroica 07-12-2005 08:04 PM
i was just curious. its the windows shares on the windows computer i cant see so why would editing the smb.conf file help me? the linux shares i see fine from the xp computer

first enable rlan option in the kde control centre
Code:
kde controle center
        |-------> Local Network Browsing
                                    |------->lan:/ & rlan:/ [TAB]
                                                        |------->enble use rlan.. option
and the type
rlan:/[System Name to access]
in konqueror

eroica 07-17-2005 11:27 AM
i'm sorry i dont see option you are referring to. all i have on that page is a tab for windows shares w/username,password,computer name & a drop down list for windows encoding which i have no idea what it is for. it is set for iso-8859-1.

have you tried in "Local Network Browsing" and then clicked on "lan:/ & rlan:/" tab at top?

eroica 07-19-2005 07:01 PM
all i have on top tab is "windows Shares". i'm running kde 3.1 is this "/rlan" tab new? or is there a package i dont have installed?
