			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leopard has been pretty good to me so far, but the whole <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/finder.html">Finder automagically finding local Windows / Linux machines</a> and mounting their SMB shares has been the one thing I&#8217;m classifying a total joke. I&#8217;m sure some Mac fans are about to pipe up and mention AFP and the like, but let&#8217;s face it, like it or not SMB is an incredibly widely deployed standard, and I expected more after Apple briefed me on how much better Finder handles this stuff.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried a few tricks, like adding a second network location and <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5705037">inputting my local network&#8217;s WINS workgroup</a> (the second location is necessary because Leopard has a bug that <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5730346">prevents it from saving a workgroup name in automatic mode</a>) and <a href="http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=598014">other such black magic</a>, but this jaded old network engineer just can&#8217;t seem to fix the issue. I&#8217;m not feeling too defeated and alone, though &#8212; it seems like almost no one has been able to get Leopard to auto-mount anything but AFP drives, with or without <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5748242">Bonjour</a> for Windows (even sans firewall). Any Leopard users in the house with a solution or any bright ideas?</p>
