That is what I've been following but it's for Mandrake 9 and I'm using 10. The other computer is Windows XP.

Currently have samba up and working. On the XP machine I can browse my linux shared folder.

What I want to do is view my windows share on the linux computer. This program was supposed to help, except I can't find it.

I tried doing a Find files, both case sensitive and not case sensitive, nothing comes up. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some help.

I know I'm close, and once I can run this program, I'm sure I'll be finished in a matter of minutes, but I can't FIND it!

I was thinking it would be in somewhere in /usr or /var but I'm not seeing anything.

Thanks in advance!

Why are you trying to do it with Mandrake 10? Mandrake 10is almost three years old, and there are much better tools available now. If you get a modern version of just about any distro, you could have it done with a few clicks. Not to mention that unsupported software in Mandrake 10 has lots of security holes in it.

At any rate, once you get Samba installed, there should be a new command smbmount (probably in /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin) that allows you to mount windows file shares. You will probably have to be root to do it though. As far as integration with your desktop manager, however, I'm not sure how that would work.

I would head over to http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ and check out the Networking forum. This question (or questions similar) get asked at least a hundred times a month over there.
