I recently bought a Dell Mini 10v running Ubuntu 8.04. This is my first plunge into the world of Linux. On my home network I have a network hard drive. Sometimes when I log on to the Mini it can see the network drive, as well as the other computers on the network, sometimes it doesn't see anything on the network.
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.
I want to change the preferred network type from the current setting of 'unknown'. I go into the tablet using the *#....access and it lets me see all the various info sections.
Newbie here. I have googled for days and can't seem to find the answer to my problem. Here is the background. I was running Windows Vista on my desktop at home until I got fed up and decided to go with linux again. I have a dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu Karmic.
Howdy! I'm quite new to Linux and Ubuntu, so please bear with me if I am making an elementary mistake.
So I am trying to access some files that I have stored on my school's computer science server. At first, I tried using this guide, but it did not work.
I have a USB drive hooked up to my Netgear router, and if I navigate to it through browse network I can read and write to files. However I want to mount it as a network drive through cifs so I ccan get fast transfer rates.
I installed cfis-utils, and added the following file to my fstab

Hello,
I've been trying to mount a network drive and I always get error 13 access denied.
This is what I have been trying.
1. downloaded and installed smbfs
2. sudo mkdir /media/public
3. gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
4. At the end of the file I typed:
# Mount a network drive
//172.16.23.23/share /media/public smbfs guest 0 0
Then I saved the file.

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.
Hello,
My WD My Book World drive has crapped out on me. I took the hard drive out of the case and put it into my desktop. I am now trying to access the drive with the only purpose of recovering data (and if the drive is still good, wiping it clean and formatting it to work in windows).
After reading countless threads, I believe that the file system is xfs.
