In "//s.o.m.e.i.p/f", you need to provide a valid hostname and not an ip.
1. Add the target computer's netbios name and ip to /etc/samba/lmhosts 2. Use "smbmount //hostname/share /mntpnt -o username=whatever" You should be presented with a password prompt and then the share should be mounted. You aren't planning on accessing this filesystem across the internet are you? Given the fact that sharing a filesystem on an untrusted interface isn't the most secure thing to do, some isp's are blocking netbios traffic now as well. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Joseph A Nagy Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 4:49 PM To: redhat-list Subject: Samba Hi all, Yes, I'm playing with samba again (cause a friend of mine doesn't want to temp set up apache so I can just download the files from him that way).
