Samba on Suse 7.2
Ok, Question first, then info:
I'm trying to mount my windows 98 box from my suse box. Can that be done? Can anyone tell me some things to check? Its not working for me. Here's what mount tells me: ................... linux> mount -t smbfs -o username=admin,password= //windows/c /annie 2632: session request to WINDOWS failed (Called name not present) 2632: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present) SMB connection failed ............ /etc/hosts has 192.168.1.100 windows ............ the windows box has c drive shared. ............ the windows box has a login admin with no password ............ Oddly, ping 192.168.1.100 returns pings, I thought windows didn't ping... shows what I know. ............ I have a NeXT Station too, but it's on 192.168.1.101, for sure. It's also the DMZ machine to my router, running the web server. |
Hi,
Yep - it can be done. Can you see the SuSE machine from windows (ie if you go to Network Neighbourhood)? If you can't, then perhaps Samba is not configured correctly. Is Samba running? Type Code:
smbclient -U% -L localhost Code:
added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Code:
shell> ps -A | grep 'mbd' Code:
/usr/sbin/smbd Code:
mount -t smbfs -o username="admin",password="" //windows/C /annie That should do the trick. I'm probably stating the obvious here, but it's not the best idea in the world to have a blank admin password and to share the root of your C drive! Oh, if the above doesn't work, create a password for your 'admin' account and try that too. |
