Try using the IP address of the computer with the shared folders instead.

Hi pdeman2,
1st thank you for your reply. 2nd, Now i got another message, When I try to access 1s machine (winxp - workgroup) through samba shares. network folders + smb share it says 'Timeout on server workgroup'.
There is no place to use IP, what i use :
setup a home or small office net work in winxp machine 1st machine and share the folder to be shared that's all.
... thanx

I mean to use the IP on the client machine. Open your file manager and in the address bar, typ smb://<ip address>/

The IP address should be the address of the Windows machine. I have had issues using Windows workgroups and stuff before with Linux. Using IP addresses instead should solve the issue.
