There has to be a better way!!!!

I have used pyNeighborhood before and it worked before and for some unknown reason, it doesn't work anymore. I can scan a group and my workgroup name comes up but I am unable to scan it. I manually Add Machines and their IP addresses get added when scanned. When I scan machine, the network shares will not come up and I get failed to scan message. Some particulars:

WinXP machine and Win7 machine on network. Used to be able to scan WinXP with pyNeighborhhod and have not been able to scan Win7 machine although it's IP address shows up when I add machine.

My pyNeighborhood settings:

General-mount folder = /mnt/lan (all permissions set), anonymous logins
Network-Always use msbrowse (checked), client command = msbrowse, lookup command = nmblookup, try to retrieve IP address (checked)
SMB-disabled
CIFS-enabled with commands sudo mount and sudo umount
File Manager-Thunar

I am able to look at shares on WinXP machine when I mount the shares as per http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/09/05 ... page4.html

There has to be a better way to do this than pyNeighborhood and command line trickery with Thunar. I like Nautilus way with network machines showing in file manager and all you have to do is double click the share to mount it.

Help me please.

 

Hi Banny706

I tried most things mentioned on the forum and I could not get any to work for me. Then I found Konqueror/Kdebase. See the following link;
