smbmount not working
 

Hi,
I have an Win XP machine and I want to access a shared from Linux 9 server. I have configured samba and able to get access from XP but unable to get from Linux to Win. I am using the following command,

smbmount //xpmachine/TEMP /home/sikandar
it asks for password which I don't know that which one it is asking for. I am entering XP admin but it gives an error message 4045 session setup failed and SMB connection failed.

Your help will be really appreciated.

Make sure you installed smbfs.
Try entering a blank password.

Just guessing!

I am new to Linux but I tried with no password and it say anonymous access with error 4101 tree connect failed access denied

Try this
smbmount -o username=<XPuser>,password=<pwd> //xpmachine/TEMP /home/sikandar

No linebreaks

It gave me message like wrong syntax so I modified it,

mount -t smbfs -o username=admin,password=thanks //xpmachine/TEMP /home/sikandar/hello

it worked and now I am able to access the shared location.

Thanks for your time.
