Cannot access windows shares

I have a completely uptodate FC4T3 created from a fresh DVD install when it was first released.

If I click on Computer > Network, I see two icons - one for the windows box named bjtpc on my LAN, and one for Windows Network. If I click on Windows Network, I see an icon for our workgroup, named tool. If I click on tool, I see another icon for bjtpc. If I click on either bjtpc icon, I get icons for that computer's C drive and SharedDocs folder.

Clicking on the C drive share icon results in access to the folders. Clicking on the SharedDocs folder results in an "infinite" hourglass cursor. After the hourglass cursor begins, I cannot open any folders in the C Drive share. It claims to be opening them, but nothing happens. Logging out/in restores access to the C drive, but as soon as I click on the SharedDocs folder, I can no longer access the C drive folder. Clicking on the C drive folder then results in an "infinite" hourglass, also.

Having SELinux permissive or enforcing makes no difference.

This operation all works correctly in Fedora Core 3 and in Ubuntu 5.04. In Fedora Core 3, when accessing the first share, an Unlock Keyring dialog appears into which I enter my password and then access to the share is available. No such dialog is presented in FC4t3.

Anyone else seeing this, or does anyone have a clue on how to successfully access the SharedDocs folder in FC4?

Thanks.
