hello,
I'm using FC9 on i686 and the system is UP TO DATE at this moment
the problem is that I've convinced my employer to use Linux at the office
so I've installed the os on my pc with winxp,
but MOST of our data files are shred through workgroup with high security the problem is in samba i think "when browsing the workgroup i can't see the pc with the resources and thus i can't see the printer connected to the pc "HP LASERJET 1010" & by the way this resources pc requires user&pass in windows to connect" and i'm using samba.

another qustion can i connect to pc over samba by the IP

Please help , i like Linux and i want to use it at work!!

Don't know the answer, but thought I would bump this up because the answer is of interest to me. :-)

what i need is help , nothing else.

I believe that what you want is to use the userid and password in your smb connect string such as:
You are using your browser to configure CUPS, right? http://localhost:631/

thanks Quakeboy02
it's working now thanks "i did not know about http://localhost:631/ it's amazing web interface
thanks
BUT
what if i don't know the shared folder name, and i want to browse the win pc using ip i tells me no application to handle this file tybe

If you don't know the userid and password on a machine that requires it, it stands to reason that you can't browse its contents.
