Cant detect other computers[running on MS Windows XP] from Linux SuSe 9.0
 
Hi-could some please assist me-I am operating Linux SuSe 9.0 on a network on which all other PCs are running MS Windows XP-i cant detect these computers from SuSe? I know that in MS Windows, the command is merely to click on "My Network places" what is the similar command in SuSe 9.0?

in suse linux 9.0 you have the option to install samba server and client from YaST... install them both. You can browse Win XP computers by typing smb:/ in a konqueror url. This will show you the workgroup pc's available... Works great... Mine even installed an icon on my kde desktop called Local Network.
