Ok,

Thats made some difference i.e. I can put smb://workgroup into konqueror 
and see the laptop now (get to the files etc which is an improvement on 
what it has been).

I'm still getting an error if I try to view anything via the network 
browsing or devices options though. Weird.

Plus the linux desktop is still invisible to the laptop, hence I can't 
add the printer (the inkjet connected to the linux desktop) or print to it.

Also, as per the howto at Mandrivausers suggested I installed smb4k, but 
of course thats useless if it can't see the shares etc.

Damn! I wish someone had written a howto that was vaguely helpful and 
actually explain "howto"!

TVM for the suggestion though Dave - at least I can print stuff from the 
laptop even if by a somewhat torturous route.
