Nautilus and Samba

Hello,

I habe a fresh Gentoo System here, and it works great. On another machine a samba daemon is running, poroviding several shares.

On my local machine I can access all the shares in a shell with smbclient. But I would like to browse the shares also with Nautilus under Gnome 2.6.2 (Nautilus is version 2.6.3).
I read a lot about it. But when I enter "smb://<mashare>", I get a message saying that this is not a valid location...

Anybody has an idea whats wrong with my Nautilus? As I said, it works fine with smbclient.

Andreas

Hey adenied,

Did you install gnome-vfs ? If not, do so. It will solve the problem.

You'll also need gnome-vfs-extra wich is where the samba stuff is now on.

I don't think you need gnome-vfs-extra anymore (with gnome 2.6 or 2.8), but you do need to have the "samba" USE flag enabled when emerging gnome-vfs.

This should let you browse the Windows network partially, but there doesn't seem to be a way to supply Windows domain login details while browsing the Windows network.

However, you can use the "Connect to Server" option on the "File" menu in Nautilus to add specific Windows shares (assuming you can determine their names by some other means) to your "Computer" folder, complete with username, domain and password. You can optionally save the password for the duration of the session and/or keep it in your GNOME keyring.
