Thanks for the response. I'm running:
samba-3.0.24-1.fc5
samba-common-3.0.24-1/fc5
system-config-samba-1.2.34-1
samba-client-3.0.24-1.fc5
It does seem that the samba client (smbclient) CAN access Vista
shares. It's just Nautilus (I don't know which SMB client it
uses) that cannot access Vista shares.
Am I the only one having this problem, which would point
to some configuration issue on my part?
