I can't seem to get Samba to browse my network. It used to be able to browse my network, find the windoze computer and network shares and connect. Now, the only way for me to connect to the network shares from DSL is by booting from my hd-install (which i really want to update). DSL can only connect to those shares when LinNeighborhood is started in the hd-install and the shares are automatically mounted. Even using the same commands that LinNeighborhood uses in an xterm won't allow me to connect to these shares. How can I fix this?

Browses and connects to my XP Pro network shares.

Try using the raw ip address of your windows computer.

IE:

//192.168.1.2/SharedDocs

where 192.168.1.2 is the network address of your Windows computer.
