Paul,

it is not so inconsistent.
If I use the Network server from Linux, sometimes it freezes with a 
white windos, sometimes I get the list of the Windows PC's,
sometimes I get the list of shares, but when I click no way to see the 
list of files....and I can mount a Windows share only if defined by 
TCP/IP and not by Windows name.
Something has gone wrong between FC2 and FC3: FC2 was working fine

Tnx
