Open up the GUI file manager known as konqueror. It is the house icon on the taskbar. Once that comes up, in the location bar, I use the following to authenticate to a Windows domain & then access a windows networking share. In the location bar:
smb:/domain\username@IP.address.of.machine
If you do not need to authenticate to a domain, the form is:
smb:/hostname
or

smb:/IP.address.of.machine

I hope this helps.

Can Knoppix machine ping the gateway and other machines that are not the Win XP machine?
