SMB support is considered broken in GNOME 2.4, so I wouldn't invest too much time in it. Apparently fixed in FC2/GNOME 2.6.

On my box it will 'see' the domain and the browsable shares though, so my guess is that you need to establish browsing.

Try adding to smb.conf the lines:

os level = 65
wins support = true

Yes, it works like a charm in FC2. = )

btw, the SMB.conf file is used to configure your SAMBA server, not to configure SMB client connections.

In FC2, you can click on "Network Servers" in the menu and browse away!
