SuSE 9.1 provides desktop icons to start instances of Konqueror for local 
system browsing (called My Computer) and for "Network Browsing." Using 
Network browsing, I navigate to the directory containing the files on the RH 
machine. I assume that this mounts that system on the SuSE machine, but OO 
still does not see the network. I created a link to the directory in 
question. Clicking on it in Konqueror displays the contents of the remote 
directory. Clicking on the entry of the .doc file results in a dialog box 
offering to open the file with OO writer. For some reason, it worked this 
time. I guess I must not have followed that procedure the same way the last 
time.

Thanks for the help.
