You need to specify where you want to mount it...if you want to mount in under /mnt it would look like this...

Code:

mount -t smbfs  //192.168.1.2/linux /mnt -o username=atul,password=ABC

Try specifying where you want to mount it...

No, for SMB shares it's different...at least on Red Hat distros it is...

Try doing XPNAME\username for the username....for example

Code:

mount -t smbfs  //192.168.1.2/linux /mnt -o username=COPUTERNAME\atul,password=ABC

I try with this:

Code:

mount -t smbfs  //192.168.1.2/linux /mnt -o username=YVILLACIS\atul,password=ABC

I try this, but I keep seeing the same error.

why?

I'm doing wrong or that I lack?
