+<para
+>In many small local area networks, the <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> protocol is used to offer network services. Names like <quote
+>&Windows; Network</quote
+> or <quote
+>&Windows; for Workgroups Network</quote
+> or <quote
+>LanManager</quote
+> are often used as well. Using <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> you can access so-called <quote
+>shares</quote
+> (&ie; folders made available by the server) as well as printers. </para>
+
+<para
+>&kde; comes with built-in support for the <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> protocol. As &kde; is network-transparent that means you can access <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> shares from everywhere you can access your local files, for example in the &konqueror; file manager and in the file dialogue. To make use of this you should provide &kde; with some information on your <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> network. But do not worry, this is normally pretty simple as, for example, all the Windows clients in your network need and have the same information.</para>
+
+<!-- Don't know if the following info should go in the base
+documentation --> 
+
+<!-- this smb-ioslave doesn't support showing a list
+of hosts (like e.g. smb:/), for this you need the lan or rlan-ioslave,
+very cool thing (TM) btw. If you want to write some documentation for
+this one too, have a look at kdenetwork/lanbrowsing/lisa/README and
+contact me if you have questions. -->
+
+<note
+><para
+>For the <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> protocol to work, it is required to have <application
+>Samba</application
+> correctly installed. If you have an NT domain controller, you will need at least <application
+>Samba</application
+> version 2.0 or higher. If you want to access &Windows; 2000 shares, you will need <application
+>Samba</application
+> version 2.0.7 or higher. Older versions may work too, but have not been tested.</para

+<para
+>Although there are a lot of insecure <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> networks out there which allow access to anyone, in principle you have to authenticate yourself to access the services of an <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> server. By default, &kde; will use the data entered in the <guilabel
+>Default user name</guilabel
+> and <guilabel
+>Default password</guilabel
+> fields to authenticate itself on <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> hosts. If you leave the field <guilabel
+>Default user name</guilabel
+> empty, &kde; will try to access <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> hosts without a username. If you leave the default password empty, it will try without a password. If &kde; is unsuccessful accessing the host using these settings, you will be asked for a username and a password.</para>
+
+<important
+><para
+>While it makes things more comfortable if &kde; stores your <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> password, this may be a security problem. If you are using <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> in a security conscious environment, you should not store your password here but rather enter it anew every time you need to access an <acronym
+>SMB</acronym
+> host.</para
+></important>
+
+<para
+>In the <guilabel
+>Workgroup</guilabel
+> field, you can enter your workgroup name. If you don't know it, ask your system administrator or have a look at other already configured machines in your network. However, in most cases providing the workgroup name is not required, so you probably can also leave this empty.</para>
+
+<para
+>If the option <guilabel
+>Show hidden shares</guilabel
+> is checked, shares ending with a <quote
+>$</quote
+> will be shown.</para>
