Well that is a little mysterious. Under the windows network you see the
various shaes ADMIN$ C$ print$. One expects to be able to login to any
of those shares. Although I admit I have yet to make that work. No
passwd I try works.
What I saw under F11 was icons for all the Fedora machines on the LAN
including the one I am on and I would expect to be able to open the icon
and login to the machine. You can do that using Places-> Connect to
Server but then yo need to know in advance the machines name or ip
address. Using Places->Network seems easier.
I have to say that I don't see any Fedora machines on FC9, 10, 11, or 12 here,
nor would I expect to unless they were running SAMBA shares or whatever has
replaced that tech (haven't had to put a windows machine up here in several years).
