Are you saying that the NETWORK item does not have a "Windows Network" icon?

Right.


Do you have the gvfs-smb package installed?

No, but I do now. Thanks, Ed!

I further notice that the behavior is somewhat different depending on
whether I"m using wireless or wired network. via wired, i have no trouble
connecting to windows shares, but wireless it's a bit more stubborn. I
think I need to go review wireless router settings, perhaps it has applied
someo restrictions on wirless access to network shares.

Thanks again, Ed!

Fred

further, the "connect to server" item explicitly does not list "windows share"
as one of the options.


however on several Centos or RHEL systems I use, both at home and at
work, both of those choices include SMB/windows shares.

have I got a configuration issue on my fedora system, or have those
options been removed, for some reason?

Clues appreciated.

Thanx!
