Samba asking for Authorization Dialog

[cmillar6]

I've used Samba to browse windows shares happily for years. Not sure if it was the upgrade to PCLOS 2010 or KDE4 but now every time I try to browse to a share on a Windows XP box Samba continuously asks for "Authorization Dialog"   It will not accept any username or password and will eventually give me an access denied message. Yet, browsing a Linux share from Windows works great. Is this a bug?

you want to browse a shared folder on a window system using what? dolphin, konqueror or?

dolphin

can you install smb4k, start it up and see if it can find your winxp shared folder, mount the remote folder on your file system and see if you can access the shared folder though the mount?

i find smb4k to work consistently and without any issue, try it

using smb4k resolved the issue, thank-you. I've never had to use it before but it seems to work well.
