I am running Gnome 2.2.2 and I get the same response. I found that you can use Konqueror from the Gnome desktop and you can access your Samba shares that way. The only 'trick' to that is that if you want to copy or move a file from Konqueror, it has to be to another Konqueror window. I asked about this earlier and no one even acknowledged it was a problem. I thought it was something I was doing wrong. Anyone out there know of a solution?
