Hi folks,

Using 0.10.5 on Windows 2k with Gtk2, I have this problem:
How can I navigate (in the Open File dialog) to another computer? E.g., I want to open \\somehost\somedir\somefile.pcap but I can't find a way to get there...
The only place to type something is in the filter dialog--which won't change my directory.
If I navigate to "Home" I see an entry for "NetHood" and if I go there I see a list of my "Netork Places" but if I go to any of those network places I get nothing (just something called "target.lnk").
I suppose this is a GTK2 bug but is there something that Ethereal can do about it?
The workaround I've found for this problem is to use Explorer to find the file I want and drag-n-drop it onto Ethereal. 

Cheers,
-Jeff
