Hello everyone,
I run a heterogeneous network.
Primary box = Fedora Core 3
Secondary box = eComStation 1.1 (OS/2 Warp 4.5)
Tertiary box = Windows 95
Laptop = Windows XP home
I am using the Gnome interface.
I had been able to view the networked shares on the Windows systems fine, but never able to view the OS/2 shares. This is now solved. :)
I switched to a root session in KDE, and used the configuration tool to set up network browsing, specifically the LISa daemon for my home network. I can now view all of the shares using the Konqueror browser, to include the OS/2 shared drives that I never could see with Nautilus.
I am back to using Gnome, but have placed an icon for Konqueror on my taskbar so I can launch it and view the shares. I don't necessarily want the other systems to see/mess with the Linux drives, so this is ideal for me. It doesn't require having Samba Server set up, and also doesn't require Samba Client to be active, as it uses TCPIP to query the network.
This also seems to be much more stable than using either Nautilus or the Network Servers tool from the Applications drop-down menu.
Has anyone else used this method for network shares browsing/file manipulation?
Regards,
Stephen
