It's not picking up the machine by name (browse list). You can always put in a
hostname in your /etc/hosts file so that name matches IP.

Hi, I have a Win XP Pro machine on the network. And a fresh installed Suse 9.2. When I select the network icon on the desktop it opens konqueror and displays 2 icons, one of which is for Windows network. Clicking on it, it does not display the list of the workgroups as it is expected, so I can not browse to the XP machine. And in the link it shows "smb:/".
Now, if I enter "smb:/192.168.0.1" which is the internal IP address of the XP box, it connects and displays the shared folders and they are accessible as expected.
Not a big deal, but if someone knows what causes the problems, and which options to check, my wife will be very happy :), i.e. me too :)
Cheers Sunny
