This is offtopic for this list, which is about koffice....

The SMB support in konqueror isn't very good...

It works here, but that's with Windows 95/98. I've heard it
doesn't work with 2000 at all, and on NT I'm not sure if all types
of security are supported (share/user/....).

I don't think there's much to do until we get a better library to support
SMB, from the SAMBA source code (we are going to move in that
direction in the future).
