How do I attach a network share?

In my home network, I have a WD My Book World 500 Gb harddrive. It appears to all Windows XP clients as a network share and works extremely well for central storage.
Is there an easy way to mount these shares permanently in Linpus? To my surpise, when adding my HP networked printer, I could see all my network shares in the tree when selecting a printer. But where can I attach the file shares in a graphical environment similar to the printer utility? I would really like to use my shares in Linpus.

 

There are quite a few different methods available. I'm using pyNeighborhood, as described in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=89

Looking through the networking forum will give you some other options.

Hi,

New to linux but sorted our Apsire One to connect to my NAS drive like this for example.

1. Open My Documents
2. Right-click and create a folder called "My Net Docs" (no quotes)
3. Right-click blank area in MY Documents and click Open Terminal Here
4. In the terminal, type the following to create network share link to the folder you just created. Read my NOTE below 1st.

Code:

sudo mount \\192.168.1.2\family\wayne "My Net Docs"

NOTE: The IP (192.168.1.2) is the result IP from pinging my NAS drive on my network.
This NAS has a share called family and a sub-folder beneath called wayne

Hope this helps.

Wayne,

if I type what you suggest, I get the following messages:
audit_log_user_command(): Connection refused
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

What's happening?

If I use syntax:

sudo mount //192.168.1.2/family/wayne "My Net Docs"

it does work. Is it possible to mount the root of the share?

Try and use smb4k
sudo yum install smb4k
then type from Terminal: smb4k
