Ok, I just wondered, can I ask the question again, I have managed

Partition.
When I go into Places>Network, I click on the Icon in there, and
still
get Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from
server. I have searched for that using Google, not much comes up,
that I
can understand anyway. I am still wondering if it is a
Permissions/ownership thing. Is there a command in the Terminal I can
use to see why Nautilus camt view the files.
Not sure if this will help, but I've never got nautilus to work
happily
in that manner with SMB, however, if you hit ctrl+l in a nautilus
window
it will drop you into the address bar. Now just type smb://
192.168.x.x/
and hit enter.
Just to clarify here, since John is still learning and sometimes we
have't been explicit enough; you would replace the x.x with the
appropriate numbers for your network, or replace the whole 192.168.x.x
with the name of your other machine. Best to try with the numeric
addresses first.
