mount error 92 = Protocol not available

zocons · 03-28-2013, 10:44 AM

On SuSE 11.2 Enterprise i configured a samba service with is connecting to Windows AD. It is used for backup data for every workstation. Everything is working fine except ONE WinXP SP3 from where i get mount error 92 = Protocol not available.

I mount with:
mount -f cifs //ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4/backup -o username=user password=pass /home/tempcon

than i copy what I want on location.

Ideas?

specify a -t <something> to mount on that one at least. If you have a detail wrong in the path or the like, it may also throw up that error.

Sorry, the right line is:
mount -t cifs //ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4/backup -o username=user,password=pass /home/tempcon

Where user user has administrator right on local machine.

It is working on 20 workstations, but I wonder why it doesn't work on that one.
The share, username, pass, permissions and security are correct and checked.

You had a typo first time (mount -f)

It's telling you the protocol is not available. Is the windows box a different version/short of patches/bugfixes .. cough .. Service packs? :-))

It's weird, because it is dell xp sp3, fully updated OS and antivirus, everything else is working on network, no firewall.

any helpful stuff from the box itself? I imagine this is an m$ problem
