Hi all,
I need to mount a Windows share locally on my laptop. However, I cannot
do this via
sudo mount -t smbfs //host_name/share_name /local_mount
because the host_name has two IP addresses with it as shown by nmblookup
//host_name.
(That is, I try mounting and I'm given this error:
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) )
One IP address is a static one which the Windows computer uses to
connect to another machine. The other IP address is a DHCP-given IP and
is the one I need to connect to. I can mount the share if I use
sudo mount -t smbfs //dhcp_ip/share_name /local_mount
however, this is problematic for obvious reasons since I need the mount
to be permanent (eventually going in fstab).
My question is: Is there a way to ignore the static IP address when
mounting?
Further info: I can connect to the Windows machine using smbclient
//host_name/share_name and browse just fine. Also, nautilus can browse
the remote file system as well.
