Hi Daniel, Thanks for your response.
>> Do you really have those last few lines in smb.conf instead of >> /etc/hosts? If so, I'd have a look there first (/etc/hosts and >> /path/to/smb.conf are two different files). > Yes. That is the complete content of /etc/samba/smb.conf Re-tried # mount -t smbfs //M40G/Shared /mnt/WinXP params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: 192.168.0.1 M40G params.c:Parameter() - Unexpected end-of-file at: 192.168.0.254 server.ltsp Password: (there is no password. I just hit [Enter] It seems connected but I could not find the shared folder of WinXP # cd /mnt/WinXP/ # ls # /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.1 M40G 192.168.0.254 server.ltsp server (Remark: 1) The server is a LTSP server. M40G (PC) works as a standalone WS and Diskless Workstation as well 2) In this test I change the last 2nd line to read as "192.168.0.1 M40G. Before it reads as "192.168.0.1 ws001") However I could not find /path/to/smb.conf However to change those badly formed lines in /etc/smb.conf?
