I might be being stupid here but I use the remote desktop feature that comes 
as standard with FC2, having said that I have only connected to my Suse box 
but I'm sure it can be done to a Windows box. I also use smb4k to connect via 
works internal Windows network again not 100% sure if this can be used to do 
the same but it wouldn't suprise me smb4k is dead easy to use very intuitive 
I just start it up get it to scan the network then expand the drive I want 
double click the relevant folder, permissions to the various network drives 
is trial and error for me, but in simple terms if you ain't allowed in it 
wont mount if your allowed, hey presto the folder opens in a new window.

Hope that helps?
