I'm a new to linux. Have installed Suse 9.2 Pro and cannot browse the Windows network in my office. When I click the Network Browsing icon I see the Windows network. Clicking on the Windows icon gets me to my local Windows workgroup. The "@home network" ( my local workgroup) icon shows Type: Windows Workgroup, no owner, and permissions of dr-xr-xr-x. When I click that icon I get a message that Could not connect to host for smb://home network/ I've tried iwth Network Services enabled and disabled. I've read the documentation several times over, but cannot figure out what I have done wrong. Any ideas? Thanks. JFuller / Nashville

You have installed and setup Samba, havent you? I use LinNeighborhood along with Samba to do what you are attempting. HTH, Richard
