Mounting Linux folders on Windows shows you have NW connectivity.
Linux folders are on a local disk, Windows folder on a remote disk. You
should be able to see them in konqueror already. (SuSE 9.3 live eval)
The only thing I need to do is to type smb://win_smb_hostname/ into the
location and I see everything which this PC shares.
You might want to check first that you have samba client installed (YaST
-> Software -> Install... -> search for samba, it should show up and be
marked as installed)
If so, you can try in a console following:
>mkdir smbhost
>su
>mount -t smbfs -o username=someone,password=private
//winsmbhost/winsmbshare smbhost
>exit
Then a cd smbhost should show you the contents of your share. This way
you can at least verify if you can see the windows shared stuff on you
Linux PC
