Linux network question

[ionicle]

how, in linux (presumably in terminal) can i make it detect a. a windows network, b. shared folders, and c. then open them shared folders...

i know about mounting, but that doesnt seem to be working atm...i want a different aproach...

(aka i tried that and it failed..)

thanks (joe)

do you have the samba client installed?

 

[ionicle]

i believe so, one of the commands joe sent me before did that

but i dunno how to use it...

 

[nathan]

i'm not that advanced with linux, but www.ubuntuforums.org normally provides me with the answer, so give that a go!

 

[Joe]

Go to the places menu >> then to network



but video over this method will be less than satisfying

 

[ionicle]

i do that, it shows windows network, but it wont load it up when i double click on it, i *think* it times out....

but i aint sure what the exact cause is...

install the above proggys

if places doesnt work launch linneighbourhood

 

[ionicle]

didnt work

the share is mounted at 10.0.0.44/i

but what you told me to do before didnt work

and none of those programs seem to do it

it keeps coming up that its invalid, etc

r u on wireless or wired ?

if wireless tri wired

 

[ionicle]

on wireless because it rejects the wired connection, i HAVE to be on wireless

if i turn off my wireless, and plug in wired, it just sits there and does nothing...i tried configuring it, and it doesnt do anything...
