I'm using Linux Mint KDE 16 to browse my file share that's running samba
on a Clearfoundation (CentOS based) Linux PC.
To my first surprise, it shows up under my workgroup fine with the
server name, IP address, and even the comment I gave it.
Double-clicking to browse pops up a username and password box which I
expected. I'm entering in the username and password that I am using on
the Mint computer (same as on my Windows 7 PC) and it sits there for
awhile. And then asks me again, but it never works past this point.
I can find and connect to my server fine under the Dolphin file browser,
just provide the server IP address here and it works. Which is the
puzzling part...it works everywhere else; so this should be an easy way
to create a mount path for me to follow under any program (and not just
through Dolphin).
My media server also does the same thing; I can see it fine but smb4k
won't get past the username and password screen. (I have not tried
connecting to it through Dolphin, but the Win7 PC works.)
Going through the "Open Mount Dialog" should also work, but it doesn't.
I've read that smb4k is the easiest way to connect your Samba shares; am
I missing something basic?
P.S. My firewall is off for these tests and the file shares are all on
the same subnet.
Thanks!

When I am prompted for the username and password, the prompt goes away and comes back over and over (until I give up). I'll experiment a bit more with this tomorrow; since it works fine through the Dolphin browser (first try) it should work here with some persistence.

I looked into this, and apparently the default repository installs 1.0.7-1ubuntu1 so that could be it. Do you happen to know of an alternate repository that I can add to get 1.1.1? I did get 'make' to compile on a pi once following step-by-step instructions. I'll give that a shot again if you think that's the best route. Thanks!

Is your network neighborhood organized as an Active Directory domain? Is an error message shown? What does it say?
I don't have an AD set up here.

I know that Smb4K had a similar problem a few versions back. Which version are you using? Have you tried the latest one (1.1.1)?
