LAN browsing.....

[Robert Meyer]

>>From a command window, try:
smbclient -L machinename
If it asks for a password, you may have to use the '-U user -W workgroup' to
get everything listed.  Then try:

smbmount //machinename/sharename /mnt/machinename/share
after creating the /mnt/machinenname/share directory.

That should mount the share from the windows box as a Linux directory that you
an browse.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!
