Okay guys : you re right :)
In fact if i try the same way from fc5 and fc6 only fc6 gives me access
to my remoteXPpc_c$ on my network. I mean if i use nautilus
(network/windows network/mydomain/remoteXPpc) with fc6 it asks for
username, domainname and passwd, and i access to all the drives (c$, d$,
g$). But if i try the same from fc5 it failed.
On fc5 i have to use "connect to server", and use "windows share". And 
it is the same with within fc4.

thx :)
