Does anyone know how I can get my Linux File manager to see my windows
box?

Everything is fine from the Network Neighborhood end, and I can ftp to
the windows box just fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to see
my Windows shares with my File Manager. Am I stuck with ftp?

Thanks

Yeah, basically. Try using SAMBA that will get you some functionality, but
that network neighborhood windows stuff is basically only for windows
machines.

You should be able to use smbmount and smbumount to mount and unmount
WIN 95 shares to
mountpoints (subdirectories) on your Linux system. I use Debian and I
think this was part
of a package called smbclient, separate from the rest of the samba
distribution.
