Hi Michael,
Not sure if this works for you, but on a F7 machine, when I had to
connect to one of my internal networks, I just used Places -> Connect to
sever
-> Set the service type as windows share
-> Entered the server information
-> Username / domain / etc.
And I let the system do all the figuring out bit. It sure did connect
and also saved it as a bookmark. So now the next time I connect to the
network, this link is all figured out and ready to use :-)
later,
Rogue
p.s. I know this might have sounded like a silly suggestion, but the
beauty of this abstraction model is that tomorrow the Fedora developers
could very well change the underlying protocols / libraries and I
wouldn't have to mess around with configurations, etc to get things
working! :-)
