<p><h1>Windows Shares</h1>Konqueror is able to access shared Microsoft Windows file systems, if properly configured. If there is a specific computer from which you want to browse, fill in the <em>Browse server</em> field. This is mandatory if you are not running Samba locally. The <em>Broadcast address</em> and <em>WINS address</em> fields will also be available, if you use the native code, or the location of the 'smb.conf' file from which the options are read, when using Samba. In any case, the broadcast address (interfaces in smb.conf) must be set up if it is guessed incorrectly or you have multiple cards. A WINS server usually improves performance, and reduces the network load a lot.</p><p>The bindings are used to assign a default user for a given server, possibly with the corresponding password, or for accessing specific shares. If you choose to, new bindings will be created for logins and shares accessed during browsing. You can edit all of them from here. Passwords will be stored locally, and scrambled so as to render them unreadable to the human eye. For security reasons, you may not want to do that, as entries with passwords are clearly indicated as such.</p>
