How do I get to view folders and files on this server? I've just installed Fedora 8 and the server runs on Windows Server 2003. Using Konqueror on my KDE desktop, I can access a generally accessible page on the server by posting an URL. (It's a LAN server.) What baffles me is that Fedora doesn't offer Places in a menu like Ubuntu or My Network Places like Win XP. Not being one to avoid command line answers, I'll appreciate any help I can get.
Please type something like Code: \\192.168.0.2 in Konqueror's address bar, where 192.168.0.2 is the IP of the Windows server. But I think there's an option somewhere in Konqueror's menu that allows you to browse the network.
