Suggestions? If you're using gnome and if gnome in your version of Ubuntu is the same as gnome in Fedora 9, then you should be able to open a file browser window to do it. On my setup, it's [Main Menu]-->Places-->'Connect to Server' Select "Windows Share" from the "Service Type" dropdown menu and fill in the rest of the fields on that dialog. If things are properly configured, this should just work. -- http://SnapAndScribble.com
