Unable to mount network shares.
 

Hi all.

I have a Ubuntu system which I am trying out. I also have Fedora/Red Hat/Gentoo systems running aswell.

For some reason I am unable to mount a smb/cifs share with the Ubuntu box.

It works fine with the Gentoo/RH/Fedora box when using the command....

# mount -o username=john //192.168.200.1/share /mnt/share

It prompts me for a password and lets me in.

With the Ubuntu system, I get bad fstype or superblock etc. etc. If I use smbclient with Ubuntu, it does work.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
Craig

apt-get install smbfs :)

I've been circling the forums for hours trying to figure that one out. Problem solved. Cheers!

Good to hear :) I don't know why it isn't included by default. Oh well.
