Workgroup shares problem - Can see computers but cant access share

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

RE: Workgroup shares problem - Can see computers but cant access share

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
