Mr.Bone · 08-28-2004, 01:09 AM

I just hooked up to my college network and i want to get into my room mates files. I run suse 9.1 and i click the suse button in the corner and go to system and then click network servers. i click network neighborhood and i get this error message "smb:/// couldnt be found. perhaps it has recently been deleted. Checked my yast settings and sure enough its still installed. any ideas?

i don't think it is really nice "to get into someone's files"

It's my room mate were trying to share files.

To start at the basics, you have the samba client installed, and he's sharing the files correctly (for whatever OS he's using)?

yes...kinda weird though..it started working again...why is linux acting like winblows now?

maybe you didnt have smbd and nmbd running. to check type 'ps ax|grep smbd ; ps ax|grep nmbd' (no quotes).
