Is there something like Windows' Network Neighborhood in RH8.0? If so, is it available on X, Gnome, and KDE. Also, where is it located?

Thanks,
Steve

the quick and dirty way is:
if you use nautilus:
in the Location: slot type "smb:"
your windows shares will show
in konquoror ithelps to know the name of the windows machine you want to contact.
inthe location type:
smb://machine_name

konquoror will then show the available shares on that machine.

their are also many ways to mount the share and map it to a mounting point on the filesystem by using smbmount. do a search on this forum for smbmount and there are many discussions on it.
