Nautilus can't see network.

Arch Newbie here so bear with me.

When I first installed Arch, I put KDE4 on it because I wanted to try it out.   Today I decided that I wanted to go back to Gnome so I installed Gnome, and left KDE4 where it was.   Everything seems to be working great except 1 problem.  I can't see the network from Nautilus, but it shows up fine in Dolphin.   I'm sure this is a config I need to change somewhere but it's a bit daunting trying to find the location.   I've searched the forum, and even on google, but I can't seem to find any solid answers. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and any help you might be able to provide.

Re: Nautilus can't see network.

pacman -Si gvfs

note the optional dependencies.

pacman output is not supposed to be ignored

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Nautilus can't see network.

Thank you very much, sir!  I'm still very new, so I had forgotten about the -Si command.  It is definitely something I need to remember. 

It listed an optional package called gvfs-smb.   I installed it, rebooted the machine, and Nautilus now reads the Samba network!

Best community in the Linux world here!   Thanks so much for the fast reply!
