I first sent this e-mail over the weekend, I'm resending it today because I still need help. FC9 was a clean install and I'm using gnome windows.
With fc8 I had no trouble connecting to my home and work windows pc's. Same laptop fc9 not working. I check samba and smb.conf and can see nothing wrong. the only thing I have found is doing ps -ef on smp. the 1st looks ok
[root@ltop ~]# ps -ef | grep smb root 2424 1 0 18:26 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D root 2459 2424 0 18:26 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D root 3507 3485 0 18:29 pts/0 00:00:00 grep smb
but after trying to connect this is what I get.
[root@ltop ~]# ps -ef | grep smb root 2424 1 0 18:26 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D root 2459 2424 0 18:26 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D root 3532 1 0 18:30 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/gvfsd-smb-browse --spawner :1.7 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/3 root 3555 3485 0 18:30 pts/0 00:00:00 grep smb Any ideas would be welcome. Lee

You shouldn't need smbd running on the laptop to connect to Windows boxes. At least I don't when I connect to a couple of my servers from my laptop.
What are the error messages you are getting when you try to connect? Have you tried from the command line? What is the output you get when you try that?

One thing to keep in mind is that if you do not have the nmb daemon running, you have to supply the IP address of hte Windows machine, or the address has to be resolvable.
You may also want to check the firewall settings on the F9 machine to see that it will allow the Samba connection. (I believe there was an option for this during setup.)
