Konqueror and Samba?

Is konqueror capable of browsing a samba protocol?
I cannot connect to other computers on my network.

Any Ideas?(I am new to KDE.)

Konqueror can browse samba shares

Yes, it is capable. Try to write smb://machine_name in your location box, where machine_name is the host's name to browse.
Remenber that you need to intall and run samba (nmbd and smbd daemons)

RE: Konqueror can browse samba shares

Okay here goes:

I recently installed Openbsd 3.7 on an intel based machine.
I added the kdebase 3.3.2, kdenetwork, and samba 2.2.12 packages from openbsd.org

I want to make konqueror support the smb:/ protocol. When I type smb:/ into the address bar I receive:

An error occurred while loading smb:/:
Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_smb'.

It only says this because I manually added smb.protocol to where the other protocols files are located. Otherwise I would receive the "protocol not supported smb" error.

The kdebase package for 3.7 from openbsd.org does not contain any (or most) of these files (but oddly the 3.5 kdebase package does):
.cvsignore kio_smb.h kio_smb_mount.cpp
.depend kio_smb_auth.cpp libsmbclient-HOWTO.txt
CVS kio_smb_browse.cpp smb-network.desktop
Makefile.am kio_smb_config.cpp smb.protocol
Makefile.in kio_smb_dir.cpp x-smb-server.desktop
configure.in.bot kio_smb_file.cpp x-smb-workgroup.desktop
configure.in.in kio_smb_internal.cpp
kio_smb.cpp kio_smb_internal.h

There are similar files for the other supported protocols on my system. I downloaded the 3.3.2 kdebase from kde.org. The above files are present.

In conclusion, I would like to add the above files to my system so I can use the smb protocol. How exactly do I accomplish that task. Please explain as if you were explaining this to a four year old, i.e., feel free to explain what these files are and the commands I need to become familiar with. This is the first time I have used anything but a Windows machine and I am becoming slightly discouraged. This is definitely not the first obstacle I have run into.
