OpenSUSE 11.1; KDE 4.1.3

How can I set or provide a user name and password for a Microsoft Windows network drive in KNetAttach? It seems to assume anonymous access only.

Is there another application I should be using that has this same or similar functionality in KDE 4.1 that would accept a user name and password?

In System Settings under Sharing you can enter the default log-in details to use on Samba / MS Windows shares.

This doesn't always work, but it goes farther than anonymous. Blame MS.

Thank you for the reply, splurben.

Could you please provide more detail as to where you are finding 'System Settings under Sharing'? I can't seem to find that.

I'm starting to think that KNetAttach does not have the ability to connect as anything other than anonymous to any sort of share which I find kind of odd as KRDC handles username and password credentials just fine.

Don't know what was going on before (probably user error :-$ )but on accessing the server KNetAttach now prompts for my login credentials. Weird, but I'm happy it's working!

IMO the no1 cause of this problem is the default activation of a firewall (eg in SUSE). If the firewall's on with its default settings then you don't get the user/password request box.
