No access to LAN through Thunar

Post#1 by rchase » 25 Nov 2019, 00:41

I am connected to a LAN with a Windows 10 machine with sharing enabled and another computer with Porteus 5.0rc1 running on it. When I open Thunar and click on "Browse Network", "Windows Network" appears in the righthand pane, but double-clicking that brings up a blank pane; I can ping the other machines.

Thanks -- I forget to remove one of the slashes; is some useful purpose served by displaying three after "smb:"?
