Like many, I'm trying to make the move from Windows to Linux. Unfortunately, I'm not the only one who works at my company. The primary file server is a Windows XP Pro machine. There is a share on this machine that I must connnect to.
As a first step, I'm trying to connect to this shared directory from my new Linux workstation. After many hours of combing through documentation and web pages, I believe I need to use smbmount, however, I can't seem to get this to work. What I think should work is: smbmount //company-name/e /mnt/win where 'company-name' is the full name of the server, and the share is mapped to drive 'E:' however, this results in the following error message: 4842: Connection to company-name failed SMB connection failed I've also tried variations on this theme, adding username, etc., but I always get the same error, so I suspect I'm not even connecting to the server... I'm sure that this is a common problem for people trying to make the transition, so any help, much appreciated. -- John -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
