Hi All!

I'm trying from some days to mount a XP network drive from my Red Hat 9 box with the command:

As root:
[root@madmax root]# mount -t smbfs -o username=linux,password=redhat,workgroup=WORKGROUP //192.168.1.45/temp /mnt/XP/

But I receive the following error:
1658: session request to 192.168.1.45 failed (Called name not present)
1658: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
1658: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name)
SMB connection failed

On RH9 side I have:

1) Started Samba.
2) Stopped IPTABLES (service IPTABLES stop)
3) Created the mount directory /mnt/XP
4) [root@madmax root]# smbclient -L 192.168.1.45
added interface ip=192.168.1.10 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

On Windows XP Pro side I can:

1) ping the RH9 box 192.168.1.10

C:\Documents and Settings\>ping 192.168.1.10

First, sorry about my english.
Look in your windows xp local area Connection Properties if you have enabled de "file and printer Sharing for Microsoft Network".

good luck!

In your command, instead of the IP address, use the Computer name on the network.
