Konquerer locking up on /mnt

Running Mandrake 9 on /dev/hdc5, Win98se on /dev/hdc1 which is the modular bay on the Dell Inspiron. XP and 2 data partitions are on /dev/hda. Now here's the problem. I can access /mnt easily enough from any of the tty but not from KDE. Konquerer works fine except when I try to access /mnt then it (Konquerer) locks up. Other programs are unaffected. What could this be? Looking forward to exploring the system now I have GUI after 3 years of trying to get a satisfactory setup. Can u help?
I want to email with anyone interested in Linux workstations on laptops. Not into networking. Into multimedia, graphics and hooking up devices.

Me too. I'm running MDK 9.1 and whenever I want to acess a network drive, I have to manually type in the directory (ie. /mnt/foo) so that Konq will pass over /mnt and won't freeze. I think this has ben mentioned before too. Is this problem endemic to Mandrake only?

perhaps it is trying to access an unmounted drive, and load it in before usage, such as the cdrom drive or the floppy?

permissions may be the problem here.

Now that you mention it, Konq freezes whenever I try to use the CD-ROM and Floppy icons Mandrake puts on my desktop and I get permission errors that I don't know how to fix.
