Hi everyone,

My installation on beta2 went just fine. But now I cant seem to access my
shares on my workgroup, composed of windows xp machines. My computer is on
the right workgroup and has a unique name.

I can see all of my computers on the workgroup, but cant see their shares!

Please help. I dont have any fancy type configuration, just some windows xp
machines and a shared printer.

-Adam

Not sure if this will help, as I flailed with network settings. In the
Network Center, I have my network set to private and discovery and sharing
set to permit all computers on the network. I can see the shares of the XP
machines on the LAN. SOmetimes when opening the network, I have to refresh
it once to see all the PCs.

Hallo Adam

I had the same problem and was able to install the shared disks using
directly the "\\PC-Name\sharename" option. The drives are visible after that.
The problem with no non-visible systems also happens from time to time on my
network and disparears again (no logic there!)

But I could find no way to install the shared printers
