> Well I wasn't using any of that.  Everything was there after the install.  I tried the mount -t smbfs before but it gave me some errors.  I actually just finished reinstalling FC2. I put Vectorlinux on ... diferrent story...  This time it doesn't display any of the machines in the network, but it at least shows me the domain.  When I try to open the domain, I an error like this "Can't display all the objects".  So I tried the mount.  This is what i used:
> mount -t smbfs -o workgroup=atlas.enterprise,username=user,password=pass //servername/share /mnt/servernameIt didn't give me any errors.  I can cd /mnt/servername; however when I "ls" it just sits there.  The same thing happens when I try to browse there through GNOME.  And now the default icons on my desktop has disappeared.

This is the exact issue I had when I had the workgroup name wrong. It
passes the wrong information about who you are to the remote server.
Your workgroup can not have  a "." in it. Workgroups are the old NTNLM
specifications which can used the NetBIOS hex ID (crap I can remember
the code...) ... either way... this can not support the longer FQD spec.
Try just the workgroup short name.
