heya all !! :-)

i am running mdk 7.1 on my machine at work....
i want to mount a volume from another Linux machine (RH 6.1) on my local network.

when i am trying to mount  i am getting this :
 

[root@sysadmin installs]# mount -t smbfs //mail/hda /mnt/mail_machine
Password:
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname
SMB connection failed
mount: backgrounding "//mail/hda"
[root@sysadmin installs]# Password:
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname
SMB connection failed

this is NOT a password issue....and smb is running on the machine i am trying to mount....

any thought's anyone ?

Do you gain any special benefit from using mount directly?
How about
    smbmount //mail/hda /mnt/mail_machine -o username=foo,password=bar
        ?

It sure works for everybody....
