Are you able to map to a drive letter in explorer? It should work fine if you can see the HDA on your network.

Hello,

I use Windows 7 and have had no issues. Does the workgroup on your clients match the HDA?

I can map it as a network drive under my computer with out a problem.

When im on my hda box and go to places>network i can see my hda box and my other pc on the network.
and there is even an icon that says windows network. I double click on that> then workgroup> and again see my hda box along with all my computers on the network.

if i right click any pc in the workgroup folder i see location smb://workgroup/. but when i go to places>network and do the same all comes up as this network:///

On my whs box i never turned on disk replication. So i dont know how to index the folders on amahi nor do i want the folders to be made available offline..

bigfoot are you using greyhole?

Understand. Yes I am using Greyhole. I recently decided to give it a try and has been working flawlessly for me.

You might consider checking the wiki or Fedora web sites regarding the shares.
