I am new to Linux and running SuSE V8.0 with KDE desktop and Samba 2.2.7 on a small bnetwor5k which also has a Windows NT PC and a notebook. On the Linux PC's I have used LinNeighborhood to mount the various shares and can readily view files on the Linux PC's, or on the windoze machines. I have had a number of occasions where I have had to power down my main Linux PC, and far more often the windoze PC (which is also presently my gateway to the net via ADSL). My problem is that although I have set preferences in LinNeighborhood to memorise mounted shares and remount at next startup, this doesn't happen. I may have restarted my Linux PC and the gone to Konqueror to view or transfer a file from the windows PC and find that the share has either disappeared totally from the mount point (home/john/mnt) or I can access the drive, but cannot see any files. What I really want is to set the shares so that if a machine has to down, all shares are automagically reconnected, and files are visible. Couls someone advise me on how best to accomplish this?

You could just as easily use konqueror and in the URL part type in smb:/ to view all workgroups/domains on your network and to navigate your servers. This feature requires that hte kdenetwork3-lan and kdebase3-samba packages are installed. You can also save bookmarks so that you can readily go to any particular resource. YMMV. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
