I have Samba share from a Ubuntu 10.04 machine which I seem to have no problems mounting in Windows XP running in VirtualBox.

Hello,

When I try to mount a home directory from a Samba File server (FC15), I keep getting a message from Nautilus (on my FC17 machine):

"Unable to mount location: Failed to mount Windows Share"

I can mount other Samba shares with no problems. I do have SELinux disabled. My firewall is allowing Port 139.
