[Solved] xfsamba???

I have a couple of distros installed with xfce4 version 4.3.99.1. This is a very nice desktop with icons and the right click menu. BUT, there is one thing missing. I can't find any way to browse network shares. xfsamba is not included. So, what application can I use that is similar to xfsamba? xfsamba was so easy, just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to include the correct  workgroup, set security to share, and start xfsamba. Automagically, the workgroup shows up and shared folders are readily accessible.

Can anyone suggest a replacement for xfsamba?

Thanks, jimbo

Thanks for the reply. BUT, xffm is not in xfce4 ver 4.3.99.1 so an xffm plugin is not an option.

Good luck, jimbo

I installed xsmbrowser and now I can browse my WinXP shared folders on the network.
