Samba Hell

Goal:
To be able to access a share on an XP Workstation from a FreeBSD 5.0 Release workstation.

Install Notes:

Added to Kernel....
options NETSMB
options NETSMBCRYPTO
options LIBMCHAIN
options LIBICONV
options SMBFS

Added Samba 2.2.8a from cvsuped ports. The non-devel port (is this where I am going wrong?)

Results:

1. If I use smbclient from the command line I can connect to windows share and "get/put" files without a problem.

2. However---I would like to use a graphical interface....so I have attempted to use Konqueror in KDE 3.1.1. IF I typein smb://servername I can see the share on the server. I can browse trhough the dir structure no problem. I can even create new folders on it. However....Once I try a file operation...like trying to drag to desktop from share.....I get a dialog showing file copy then my machine stalls....TOP shows smbclient using 60% cpu and only way out is to kill the process.

3. I also tried mount_smb from the command line. When I do this I notice the smbclient process starts up and hogs CPU.

Questions:
1. Does anyone else try to access windows shares from their machine via GUI and if so what FreeBSD version etc...etc...and how did you do it?

2. Has anyone else expeienced this problem?????

3. Should I use the devel version...again not setting up a server just want to be able to access an existing one.

Requests:
PLease don't state: just use the smbclient command line utility

TIA
