Nautilus/Gnome Can't Access Vista SMB Shares

[Khoa Ton]

Thanks for the response.  I'm running:
	samba-3.0.24-1.fc5
	samba-common-3.0.24-1/fc5
	system-config-samba-1.2.34-1
	samba-client-3.0.24-1.fc5

It does seem that the samba client (smbclient) CAN access Vista
shares. It's just Nautilus (I don't know which SMB client it
uses) that cannot access Vista shares.

Am I the only one having this problem, which would point
to some configuration issue on my part?
