Mandrake 7.2 LAN utility scanner for SMB client access

[joshInAlaska]

I'm trying to access a Windows NT server that we have at our jobsite with Mandrake 7.2. I know that something like Konquerer is helpful, but I can't get it to work with the Windows Shares under KDE.

Does anyone know any way possible that I can do this? More importantly, is there a GUI utility wizard of some sort that can do a LAN scan, see what servers are there so that I can click my way to the shared folders? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?!?

If there is a utility out there similar to KDE 2.0 kups, for setting up network printing, that would be awesome for my situation.

Anybody, please come to my rescue with some worthy advice.

Has anyone even reviewed my predicament?

Have you tried searching Freshmeat? Lots of good software there. You will find several SMB clients there to try out.

I use a program called Gnomba to browse SMB shares. It's a Gnome application but you don't need to be running Gnome for it to work. You just need the proper Gnome libraries installed. I don't have a link to it but just do a Google search. I think there's a similar KDE-based front end called Komba or something like that, too.
