Networking question
 

I'm currently using RedHat 9 on GNOME connected to the internet on a TI LAN and i was wondering how i can share and access files off of my schools server. I am connected in the schools lab, but all the other computers are Windows 2000 and the server is Windows NT 4. I just took one of the computers and put linux on, i have my internet configured but now how do i access the shared files on the server?

samba... mount a share

mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/folder u make in mnt dir -o username=yourusername

[root@internet root]# mount -t smbfs //10.17.10.10/share /mnt/MEHS
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //10.17.10.10/share,
or too many mounted file systems
thast what i get

cat /proc/filesystems

if smbfs isn't in the list, then you either need to load the smbfs kernel module or make a kernel with smbfs support.

smbfs is in there

try using the "smbmount" command.

what does that do

smbmount is like the mount command, except it's for samba (hence the smb part infront of the mount).

Also if you've got a GUI go into your home directory and in the address bar type

smb://10.17.10.10 and it will show the shared files on 10.17.10.10

First when i try smbmount it says commandnot found
second when i go to the home directory and do
smb://10.17.10.10 it gives me a log in with name and password....a school admin is with me when i do this and we dont know the name or pass.

nvm i have found the name and pass
i can see all of the files but how do i share them
the smbfs doesnt work as you can see in my earlier posts

Need more information because i still cannot share with the server.

hmmm, perhaps you could try this
http://opensource.franz.com/nfs/
nfs is the native networking share in linux, perhaps you would have better luck setting your windows box to serve nfs then to get your linux to mount windows shares

i cant change my windows, its the school server. I just used this computer as a project to see if i could share files on Windows NT from a linux box.
I can smb:// on GUI but i cant share it so far..
Anything else i can try??

ok i have gottin some of it to work
[root@internet root]# mount -t smbfs //10.17.10.10/share /mnt/MEHS
3758: session request to 10.17.10.10 failed (Called name not present)
3758: session request to 10 failed (Called name not present)
Password:

I try the password to our server but it says access denied. My administrators do not know what to put in there. What is wrong?

[root@internet root]# mount -t smbfs //MEHS/share /mnt/MEHS
Password:
3885: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

no clu what the pass is.....is it looking for samba password, or MEHS password...MEHS pw doesnt work
