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:

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.

That worked.  But I had to add two options to the command.  uid=username,gid=groupname.  Without those options it mounted the shares with root owning everything.  I have given up on the GUI stuff.

Thanks for the help.
