Can it be that Firefox has the username cached ? What if you remove all saved UID's and passwords, will FF still login with no UID needed ?

solved (was - smb access problem)
OK - I continued playing around and discovered a solution (although I'm not sure I understand why it works). Instead of smb://10.0.0.138 or smb://10.0.0.1 I tried smb://user@10.0.0.138 and smb://user@10.0.0.1 and now I'm not being asked for a password. BTW - the same works for my xtreamer which also has an IP address on the network. On Friday, March 16, 2012, Shlomo Solomon wrote: > I have a D-link router (from Bezeq).

smb access problem
I have a D-link router (from Bezeq). It runs Samba so you can put a USB disk on the home network. When I access smb://10.0.0.138 from Firefox, I can see the files on the USB disk. But when I try the same thing from Dolphin, Krusader or Konqueror I'm asked for a username and password. I discovered that if I enter user as the username and no password, I can reach the files, but I don't understand why I needed to enter the user in Dolphin, or how I can change this. On a similar note, I have a directory on my Linux machine shared over the network, also using Samba. I discovered that the same thing happens here. So, in this case, I can reach smb://10.0.0.1 in Firefox, but in Dolphin I have to enter my username, but with no password.

I would like to create an SQL database of that file with the least understanding of SQL, basically a point and click front end is what I need.
