Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk) OS: Linux There is a local network of 5 windows 98 machines and a linux box.The linux box is running dns server providing name resolution for the 5 windows 98 machines.Also the linux box shares internet connection to the 5 machines with dns server,proxy,named. I start konqueror and i give the command smb:/ the result is to show me all the computer names and of course the shared resources,so far so good. The problem occurs when i commit the actions. 1) I start konqueror 2) Go to menu Window and select Show Navigation Panel 3) Click the button services at the left down 4) double click LAN Browser After that i see the online machines but not with the windows 98 computer names but with the names the dns server provides.For example there is a computer with ip 10.45.34.13 and computer name in windows98 w999320b.The dns server in linux box resolves that same ip with the name abcdef.ghij.kl and also there is the following record in hosts file 10.45.34.13 abcdef.ghij.kl abcdef so when i click in konqueror the SMB under the computer name (abcdef.ghij.kl) it says the following after a couple of seconds (trying to connect) The file or folder smb://cnask.taxis.gr/ does not exist. but if i give smb://w999320b everything work fine. uname -a Linux tyve.taxis.gr 2.6.10 #1 Wed Dec 29 13:37:09 EET 2004 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz unknown GNU/Linux lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE Host-to-AGP Bridge (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB 2.0 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 82) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) UltraATA-100 IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 00f1 (rev a2) 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I'm not sure if this belongs to kio/smb or kio/lan. Considering the latter doesn't exist as a component, I'm reassigning to kio_smb and we'll see what they can do.
KDE 3 is no longer maintained. Feel free to reopen the ticket if the problem is still applicable in the current stable KDE 4 version. Thank you for your report.
