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 is easily fixed via the smb.conf file mapping UID,GID. I read about
it but never looked further as I always had matching user name. Also, as
a side note SuSE 9.0 has an option in konqueror that will pass full
Windows user and password info automatically which makes browsing very
nice on Windows LANs. SMB client treats each share and directory as a
new point for challenging credentials if you us RH Nautilus. I am sure
their is a setting for this but I have not found it yet.
