I am brand new to linux. I installed FC3 on one of my home computers and would like to get networking enabled. Samba is installed and running on the machine and I can see the windows workgroup called "Peck Home" when I click computer>network>Windows Network, I can see the computers that are part of the workgroup, "Mary" and "Orpheus". However when I click on the computer to see the windows share directories I get the following error message.

Is there something I need to do to make these computers accessible?

I have also tried hitting the computer from firefox by entering and nothing happens

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To access a file (ona system is part of file-system.) it needs to be mounted (only root can do that unless specific File-systems are marked mountable byusers )
you need to check out the following.
do man mount
it will show you what's mounted and of course you can read the man page on it and fing out the options.
mount is runnable by root .. it reads the /etc/fstab file to find out what you are asking (if you give partial arguments) or you can give it
all the arguments and it will mount a file system.
You will mount a fs under a mount-point ..which is any directory in your system
so you can have a folder /mnt .. and under /mnt you can have /mnt/cd-rom /mnt/floppy /mnt/disk_part_x /mnt/windows_pc etc.
now as root type
mount //windows-pc/share-name /mnt/my_new_directory
it will ask you passwd (windows) and will mount the fs/
Most pacakges I have seen don't provide the "automount" of windows and you can't browse the fs with the web browsers.
hope it helps

Thanks

I was able to mount the share directory by using the command The problem I had was that my share name had a space in it and that was causing me problems. Once I changed it I was all set.
