Help me mount a share on my remote machine - SOLVED


Help me mount a share on my remote machine, please.

I am using FreeNX to connect over the Internet to my remote server.

I set FreeNX to mount a directory from my local machine and I keep getting the following error.

Code:
Info: Share: '//LOCAL-MACHINE-HOSTNAME/Share' failed to mount: mount error 111 = Connection refused
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Environment details follow.

Remote Machine - CentOS 5
Local Machinve - Windows XP SP 2


Help me mount my share, please.

I solved it.

I added my remote machine's IP to the hosts_allow section of smb.conf.
I terminated my FreeNX session and everything mounted like a charm.
