That is because you are using Konqs native smb support. If you mounted the share you would navigate Konq to file:///mount/smb/ or whatever. Some other apps (eg xmms2) also have native smb support, and can access shares without them being mounted. > Related question: this method of installing a samba server on a machine > and putting all multimedia files on shared directories and then > accessing those shared directories from the machine one wants to play > the media on, is this one of the methods to do this kind of thing?
