connectivity of Linux 7.3 and Win-2000
Hi all,
I have some issues in connecting linux 7.3 server and win-2000 clients. I need to mount my c:\ drive on linux machine using samba server. I have installed the samba server and its working. But I am not able to mount the drive on linux. It gives me connection failed error. I have typed the command like.... mount -t smpfs username=xyz, password=xyz //hostIp/shared directory name /mnt/mydir It is asking me for passowrd after I type the command. But before it ask me for password it gives me error that connection failed with hostIP. can any one tell me what is the problem ? Is it the smb.conf file error ? what I have to do to resolve ? Thanks in advance, Tejas. PS. can anyone tell me what are the steps I have to follow in order to establish the connection using samba utility ? |
what is smpfs?
also, is the entire C:\ drive being shared by Windows? I'm not so I could be wrong....but I THINK in order to mount a windows drive over the network, it has to be marked as shared. Atleast i know this is the case when using Network Neighborhood and such. |
also, post smb.conf so that we can get a look at your setup, make sure you strip out any info you dont want us to know.

sorry, it was typo error, the command was smbfs not smpfs....
mount -t smbfs username=xyz, password=xyz //hostIp/shared directory name /mnt/mydir Is that a right command ? i have shared c: on my windows.... can you tell me what are the steps I have to follow in order to mount the windows drive on linux ? I will post my smb.conf file on monday coz I don't have remote access. |
