Been meaning to write a tutorial on this one. It's given me some grief. here's some good syntax.
mount -t smbfs -o username=art, uid=1000, password=yoursecretpassword //192.168.0.1/mp3share /mnt/mymp3sonawindowscomputer the -t is the filesystem type. Username is the username on the windows computer. UID is the userid who will have read/write access on the Linux box. You need to create a directory to mount it to like in /mnt. good luck! To have this startup at boot time, add it to the end of /etc/rc.local Art --- Mike McEwan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > thanks for the prompt reply > ok, I got the internet going.
