Re: [Users] Connecting to Samba Shares with Ximain

The gnome-vfs-extras you have installed are for gnome-vfs not gnome-vfs2 
which nautilus 2.x uses as well as most other gnome 2 apps. In order to get 
smb: to work in nautilus, I had to find a gnome-vfs-extras2 package (which 
was quite easy).  I can't remember the url I found one at, but it works for 
me now that I have that installed, theres not that much functionallity to it 
though, it can't mount a smb share, only browse it, and (at least on my 
setup) I can't even copy files over, what I end up with is a 0 byte file, 
not quite sure why, but thats what happens.  If you looking for a tool to 
browse/mount smb shares, I suggest xfsamba, its part of the xfce desktop, 
but works pretty well (icons suck) not as good as being integrated into 
nautilus, but its more functional at this point. Of course after you get it 
mounted you can browse with nautilus like any other dir.

heres the url:

good luck with the smb stuff.
