Thanks for the info link, My wizard is yast, the mnbstatus command doesn't find any of the windows machines or workgroups. Suse is on the network, has and address, Internet connection etc, so I'm digging on why nothing is found...thanks...joe On Wed, 2005-02-02 at 09:23 +0100, Johannes Meixner wrote:

I don't know which "wizard" appears on your machine (was it YaST, or a KDE tool, or a Gnome tool, or the CUPS webfrontend). Regardless which nice graphical "wizard" fails, use command line tools to find out more about the real cause of your problem: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-smb-90.html
