How to connect to a shared folder?

Hello!

We got a small LAN at home.

We got one Linux Mandriva 2009 computer, and a Windows Vista computer.

At the Vista we got a shared folder called "Fredrik".

We then tries to create e network-connection to it from  the Linux computer.

But it doesn't seems to work.

At the image below you can see what I try to fill in, and also a client list in my router.

The connection is supposed to be between 192.168.1.34 and 192.168.1.35
(There is also an old laptop at 192.168.1.36)

So if any one know how to get a remote-connection please let me know!

Best regards
Fredrik

I think the screenshot above does not try to use the windows shared files protocol, but assumes you want a connection to another system running Linux or Unix. But I am not sure.

Remember that Windows per default installs a firewall that does not allow folders to be shared. This will prove that you actually have access to the share:

( I assume you are running KDE)
Open Konqueror and write smb://192.168.1.34 . Do you see a list of shared items from your windows box?

If it somehow doesn't work, try writing "smbclient -L //192.168.1.34 -U windows_user_name" . This you also give you the list of shared items from the windows box.

Hello!

Your answer was most helpful, but I'm not "inside" yet.

Perhaps you could advise me some more.

First we realized that there was an Mcafee-firewall active.
We stopped that one.

Then we could see the shared folders with:
Konqueror and write smb://192.168.1.34 I had to login with my windows user and password.

That gave me an folder view of the shared folders.

...But I could not enter the folder that I was supposed to do, I had to write the windows user and password but it did not let me in?

Aha!!
Wait a minute, we had to add me as user to the folder!!

Now everything works fine.

Please give a svar so I can reward you mate!!

Best regards
Fredrik
