problem accessing windows files

What file is it that the system could not locate?

the 'hostname' which i renamed to localdomain.localhost

to find it (with fedora), go to system settings then go to 'network' and then click on the 'DNS' tab. there you will see 'hostname', 'primary dns', 'secondary dns', etc. I changed my hostname, and now when I login it says it can't find 'localdomain.localhost'. I will try to get a screen shot for you guys.

Right now I'm going to try getting rid of the hostname and see if that helps.

is your network domain .localhost?

How about naming it something else? like, outerlimits

then try pinging.

check /etc/resolv.conf, paste here.

first your windows dir should be shared so that u can access it over the network.

use smbclient to check windows machine's shared dir.
use smbmount to mount that windows partition.

I believe I got it to work. I cleared the host name field, and then saved it. I believe it then put in the default. Anyway, the message doesn't come up anymore.
