"local Network" Problem

I try to use the "Local Network" icon in SuSE 9.0, and that's what I get:

Internal Error. Libsmbclient reported an error, but didn't specify what the problem is.

I can see only the workgroup name, or even the list of machines in the workgroup, but cannot get further.

I tried to search in the internet, but still didn't find any solution. :-( Any ideas?

Well I can only report that I have the same problem under SuSE 9.1, I'm not sure how well the "Local Network" is already developed under KDE.

Did you already check the KDE website?

It used to work in 9.0 for me. This problem didn't start unitil I upgraded to 9.1.

Same problem here :unsure:

I've noticed that it is kind of flakey. I've had that error and then reinstalled the system and not had the error. I'm not sure why it does that though.

So I'm not alone there.

I'm not sure how well the "Local Network" is already developed under KDE.

I don't know, is it a KDE or a SuSE problem. In Gentoo 2004.1, when I try to open smb:/ (under KDE 3.2.1) , it works fine. After some delay it shows all computers in my workgroup, and then all shares...

have the same error, BUT if you go with just the ip address all works fine, its wierd and probably has something to do with wins

Did you install all the updates?

Do you happen to be including the workgroup or domain name in the SAMBA connection?

smb://<Domain or workgroup>/<system name>/<share>

I have found that if you use what I have above it won't connect. I have had better luck with taking out the Domain/Workgroup qualifier.
