windows network

[Bryan Pizzuti]

I managed to figure it out. Under the "Computer" menu, you need to select
"System Configuration" and then "Networking." Under the "General" tab, make
sure Windows Networking is enabled, and enter the name of your workgroup.
After that, if full Samba support isn't in there it'll tell you; just search
Synaptic for any package with "SMB" in the name and install it and that
should be covered.  Once it's all done, you should be able to browse your
Windows network, and be prompted for a username.password combo whenever you
try to access a password-protected resource. You can choose to save the
password for the session, and also save the password in a "keyring." Works
fine for me, though it'd be nice to be able to set a default username and
password for browsing Windows network shares.

If it's the message I saw yesterday than it is something to the effect of
you are not authorized to browse this server.

Also unless you have the full samba package installed you can't set the
windows networking under the network preferences.

I can't figure out how you can provide authenticaiton in the gnome/ubuntu
environment on the gui level. Earlier posts indicate people using smbmount
and such, but that's not part of the stated goal of just working IMHO.
