SuSe: Need Help Accessing a Windows Box on Network!


Hey,

I am booted up with my SuSe 9.1 Pro, trying to access my Windows computer with full sharing enabled. When I find the box in my workgroup, it prompts me with a username/password field.

It reads:

Server = *server name*

Share = [ text box ]
Password = [ text box ]

-----------


Because I am so new to Linux, this is literally my second day, but I need to get some of my media files from my windows box onto my new linux machine... and this prompt is totally foreign to me.

What would I enter? I tried my usernames and passwords on the windows box for the text box but no combinations worked?

Usually when I access this box from another windows machine, I simply see the files in an explorer window.

Hopefully someone can give me some guidance?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys! Oddly enough, I left my computers on for a few hours and then came back to see another drive listed in the "smb:// " folder. I just don't understand why it took so darn long to refresh.

Anyhow, Thank you!
