Hallo, i’ve just “switched” to SuseLinux from WinXP and I cannot solve what should be a very simple item. Could you pls help me? On my network I have a stand-alone HD, working on a specific IP address, with assigned WorkGroup name and Host name. In Internet Explorer accessing to those files was immediate, simply writing //Hostname, isn’t there a similar immediate command with Linux? Thanks

I believe you will need to configure Samba, then all should work similar to
Windows. See: http://www.swerdna.net.au/linux.html for a good HowTo.

Try
smb://<ip-address>/ in konquror
Little Red Rooster, you are the MAN! Frack yeah! I was going to ask the same question but not now!
Hi, thank you for the information, now I can view the main directory of the HD, but unfortunately only this one. That is, if i try to open a folder nothing happens… Do you think it might be a problem of configuration of Samba?
Thanks

and in Konqueror i read “the process (…) has died”

Samba (the CIFS server) has nothing to do with it. Afaik konqueror just
uses the libsmbclient library. But if I use konqueror like this to
access my office shares through an OpenVPN tunnel, it works as expected.
Are you sure your Windows server admin hasn’t set a deny for remote IP
addresses or something like that?
Personally, I use mount.cifs to mount a remote share. Never fails, and
at least you see error messages when something breaks.

What happens when you use smbclient?
smbclient //<ip_address>/<service> -Uuser
e.g.
$smbclient //192.168.0.3/theo -Utheo
