Hi, I have one project where the customer is migrating from XP to NLD ( Novell linux desktop ) . The main requirement for them is to access network shares as they are accessing network shares in XP . In XP , a domain user can browse the network and he can go into any computer which is part of the domain . The user no needs to provide username and password to access network shares in XP ( provided by appropriate permissions ) . So, the customer is expecting same thing from NLD. In KDE , if i am browsing the windows network by using konqueror , you can see all the domains in the network and machines which are part of these domain . But , when i am trying access to one machine , username-password dialog box appears . After providing username & password credentials , a user can go inside that machine and he can access the shares which are in that machine . If you try to access same machine second time , you won't get username-password dialog box . Konqueror has capabilities to cache the password , but this is not permanent for windows networks . Kwallet also doesn't helping me to solve this issue. I joined NLD to their domain , but still the problem exists . Please any body can tell me how we can solve the problem . Is kwallet solve this kind problems or is there is any way to solve this problem . Actually , this is the common requirement for all customers who are migrating from Windows to Linux . Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth RHCE,LPI-2

I am currently on a Windows server 2000 domain using Suse Linux 9.2 Pro. To avoid the password request I went into Control Center -> Internet and Networking -> Local Network Browsing. Enter in the user's info here. My MS-Windows encoding is set to koi8-r. No problems. - James W.
