As &kde; is network-transparent that means you can access <acronym +>SMB</acronym +> shares from everywhere you can access your local files, for example in the &konqueror; file manager and in the file dialogue. To make use of this you should provide &kde; with some information on your <acronym +>SMB</acronym +> network.
