What am I missing? I get: Internal Error Please send a full bug report at http://bugs.kde.org libsmbclient reported an error, but didn't specify what the problem is. This might indicate a severe problem with your network - but also might indicate a problem with libsmbclient. If you want to help us, please provide a tcpdump of the network interface while you try to browse (be aware that it might contain private data, so don't post it if you're unsure about that - you can send it privately to the developers if they ask for it)

The kio_slaves for samba in konq were a little sensitive in earlier versions of KDE, so make sure you've updated your system. Then try running a perl script called findsmb to see if your linux machine can see your windows machines, if it can make sure you can mount a share via the mount or smbmount command first.

There are also a number of other graphical network browsers such as linneighbourhood that might help.

Of course, but there are much better or different ways of doing so; nfs, scp and so on. If you need a graphical option enter "fish://user@server" in konq will give you a graphical scp session.

Can you ping the other box? If not then the problem is with your network setup rather than any client/server configuration. If you can, can you post your smb.conf?

Indeed! I agree! However, NFS gave me problems with the particular job I was attempting to do, so thought I'd give samba a go. The job was thus: I had two files which amounted to a backup for the client machine. I was recovering that backups using NFS when I got an error indicating that the lock file was bad, or something. The exact text escapes me. When I backed out of the directory I was in I noted that everything looked normal but when I went back into that directory all files had a question mark ('?') in front of them and all entries were in red. SMB never gave me this problem when the server was in WinXP... so thought, perhaps, SMB would be the way to go, here. I *think* it has to do w/the fact that the backup isn't in one single file --the reason for which is troubles w/x-ferring a file in excess of 1GB within smbfs. I thought I had everything set up properly. At any rate, here is the server's smb.conf file: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file.

Add passdb backend = smbpasswd to your globals and then use the smbpasswd command to add the actual system users. I'd also cut alot of the extras out of your config file as most of them relate to windows networking.

Holy Crap!!!

I've alway done the ssh / scp thing from the console for files between two linux boxes.

this fish:// thing you mention IS AWESOME!

HEHE :-) Its handy when you dont know the location of the thing your looking for, but I've noticed that there does seem to be a bandwidth overhead when using it to copy very large files of a couple of 100 kbps so I still manly use scp. Konq's io_slaves could really do with more documentation though. Regards, Ben
