Difficuties reading a windows directory from linux

[AussieGuy]

Hi,

I'm making a windows directory sharable by other computers on my home network. However, when I browse with

smb://Fred@192.168.0.163/Pictures

(using either konqueror or Firefox) I only see the first 34 of about 600 pictures in this directory. Why can't I access the rest of the files, and how do I coerce samba/windows/whatever to do it?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

cheers,
Al (AussieGuy)

You could try mounting the share using 'mount -t smbfs' or 'mount.cifs' and then accessing it with file:///...

Thanks very much!

I ended up getting it to mount fine using 'mount -t smbfs', but what I had to do was not mount the windows directory, but the name of this shared directory I had given it in the windows network settings.
