HI,
I can't seem to see the Windows shares on my wife's computer. With Fedora Core 1, I just typed smb:/// in the location field of Nautilus and they appeared. Now, I get nothing. I tried SuSE 9.1 and it worked no problem. Any ideas?
Thanks....Paul
I found default firewall setting blocks certain traffic. Disabling firewall might be the first thing you should do.
Another thing I should note is the workgroup setting. Open ~/.smb/smb.conf and type
workgroup = <your workgroup name>
Hope this helps, Sukwon

There is a problem in recent Samba version's where a PC with one or more single quote characters in its computer description, e.g.
Mary's Computer
will result in that machine not showing up when browsing the network. I believe this will be fixed in Samba 3.0.5, but for now try removing the single quotes. It worked for me almost instantly.
