I installed Fedora 17 including all updates. I need to browse the Windows network where I can access and/or view the available shares (folders and printers). I cannot browse the Windows computers on the network. When I open Files from the Favorites bar and click on Browse Network, I see the "Windows Network" icon.
We have a one segment lan with no frills. The always on media center has some NFS shares, some restricted to certain IP addresses. It has two samba shares so the windows maachines can put files in a certain applications blackhole directory.
How can one browse NFS shares of another machine? This would be handy when I do not remember the entire list as can happen when I haven't eaten recently
I am new, trying to do something with lubuntu I can do with windows; simply browse my shares on lubuntu 12.10 install with ES File Exp or Astro File Manager on my tablet
Fresh install of lubuntu 12.10, can browse windows shares, but windows doesn't see my lubuntu share. Same with tablet, can browse windows 7 shares, but scan and manual config don't see linux share.
I've read several threads regarding the setup and use of Samba, and Samba has always been working fine until recently. I didn't change anything, but for some reason, it appears that Samba only resolves hosts on the default "Workgroup" workgroup. However, the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is setup to use a different workgroup.
Recently installed Kubuntu 12.10 on a Dell XPS system. Overall happy, but I cannot access my Windows printers. Samba is correctly installed and works for browsing and accessing Windows directories on the MSHOME workgroup.
When trying to add my existing (and working) printers to Kubuntu, I select the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" option and the "browse" box on the right is not available (gray).
Hi guysI installed gvfs-smb to access samba shares in Nautilus. Now there is an icon in the "Browse Network" section of Nautilus called "Windows Network". This link works sporadically. Sometimes I open it and no workgroups are present. Sometimes I'll see a workgroup but no shares are available.
I'm on 10.04 trying to access shares on a windows machine. The machine does not appear at all in windows network/workgroup. I can see these shares when I'm on my windows partition so I know the problem isn't with the network.
I've installed samba packages and also ran this as script as advised by a tutorial:
Code:
sudo aptitude install apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-dnssd
I'm unable to browse windows shares on my home networks, and while following this guide to try and fix it, I decided to test samba itself via "smbclient" and "smbtree".
I am new to xfce (xubuntu 11.10) and was surprised at the featureless, unfriendly Thunar is used instead of Nautilus. Apparently Thunar cannot browse network shares (and many other things) the way Nautilus can. I have read and tried numerous work-arounds but none work very well.
