Hi. I am using Ooo 2.02, everything works fine, except saving. I have Fedora Core 5 x86_64, want to save document on Windows server, but When I click Save, Ooo offers only local filesystem. When I need launcher from my desktop 192.168.1.....

I can not always open network and paste files. I want to do it directly from my computer with Save and already NOW choose the windows network.

Amazing thing is, that when I open 192.168.1.... then click on the documents its saves fine, showing on top smb//192.168.1.....
Shocked

Someone knows how to save from my Linux to the other existing network directly?

OOo supports http and ftp as protocols for opening or saving files directly on a server.
AFAIK smb:// is not supported

I have a smb fileserver in my network, thus having a mount locally and save the files there...
Code:
//192.168.0.2/2006 on /netdisk/2006 type smbfs


Your desktop system may support the display of smb file systems (as my KDE do), but this is not an option with OOo.

Does this help?

I have the same problem, it was working fine with OOo 1 (one could read files from there), but not with OOo 2.
Will it be fixed in the future ?

I did not really understand you.
I also have smb://192.168.1.5 mount point on my desktop.
but still OpenOffice can't find network, however Gedit does.

to mount windows XP server or mount windows share
add in fstab this row and changed numbers for server and put /etc/.smbcredentials file with two rows:
user=xxx
password=yyy
and should work


line from fstab
//127.16.2.1/Bildes /bildes cifs credentials=/etc/.smbcredentials,user,rw,noatime 0 0
