For me it shows more-or-less everything, but when accessing the directories on the server, I get often empty directories or it displays a wrong one (e.g. when quickly switching from one to another) etc.

Yes, otherwise I would not be able to get into the server at all. We have an NT4 machine as domain controller, that may be the difference (no workgroups, just domain - Samba used to work better with workgroups, as far as I remember).

I didn't try much before, but I have seen this problem too. The directory shows empty and I have to refresh it several times to get the listing of files in there.

Funny thing is, that smbclient and LinNeighborhood have no problems. Just kio_smb. We have a standalone domain here, no AD in sight so far.

I will test it, when it gets into Cooker.

Hmm, we probably do not have WINS here, so that may be the problem.
