I have just moved from Ubuntu where my home network was automatic. I mean to say that I was able to see all of my other network computers which are all Windows machines. I am having trouble though accessing them with F14. I see the Windows Network icon in Nautilus when i click on network, but when I click the WinNet icon i receive the following pop-up message: "Unable to Mount Location" "Failed to retrieve share list from server". I believe I have successfully installed Samba, but am unsure as to how to configure.
Any help appreciated.

Resolved, sort-of. By running:
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.102/C$ /mnt/windows -o user=Administrator
I seem to be able to access... finally. Not only the C$ admin share, but suddenly all shares show up on that machine. BUT, not really sure what thiscommand is (found it on web). On reboot, though, same problem, and I need to rerun the above.
Any help appreciated.
