windows linux problem with 3 pcs


hello there , i need sum serious help so... _/-\o_ i
have a problem which is driving me crazy with my
network, i have been trying to find help on the net
for weeks now, but couldn't find any helpful sites
relating to my problem so i thought i'd try posting it
on here. I tried to include all the information i have
but i'm a linux n00b sort of... anyways i have a
network with three computers

machine#1: 10.0.0.1 windows 2000 prof
machine#2: 10.0.0.3 linux suse 9.0 with samba Version 2.2.8a-SuSE
machine#3: 10.0.0.4 windows 2000 prof

all machines can ping each other and both windows
machines can read each others shares and the shares of
the linux machine, in linux i can also mount the
shares of machine #1 but not the ones of machine #3
althought when doing:

smbclient -L machinename -U user

i can see the shares of machine#3 but when i try to
mount them with e.g.

mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxxx //machinename/SGC/ /test

it does not work, neither when i specify workgroup, ip
or more options i get the following error:

16025: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) SMB connection failed

the number 16025 changes btw, and if u think i have a
typo in my mount command because it says invalid share
name, that is not the problem, i have checked that
many times, and mounting shares from machine#1 is no
problem, that works fine. Another strange thing is
when i use:

smbmount //machinename/ftp3 test -o username=xxxx,password=xxx

it seems like there is no problem because it does not
return an error but then when i change to the /test/
directory and want to c what is in it by using 'ls' i
get this:
/bin/ls: .: Stale NFS file handle

smbclient -L machine3 -U user gives this:

added interface ip=10.0.0.3 bcast=10.0.0.255
nmask=255.255.255.0

as you can see there is a difference in this line with
the problem machine:
Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 (
10.0.0.4 )

both computers have the same username/password which
is also added in linux, rights and privelges are also
checked and ok, i set in both windows computer to
never be masterbrowser or domain controller and
testparm shows this:

you said that the share name was "SGC/" which is not a valid name, hence the error message to that end. it should be "//machinename/SGC"

I think what acid_kewpie meant was to remove the trailing / after SGC in your mount command. It should look like this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxxx //machinename/SGC /test

not this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxxx //machinename/SGC/ /test


When you execute this:

smbmount //machinename/ftp3 test -o username=xxxx,password=xxx

is your current directory the root directory (/ not /root)? If not, then //machinename/ftp3 would not be mounted at /test but at a directory named test under your current directory.

You have your Samba server set up to be a WINS server. Are your Win2k machines pointing to it as their primary WINS server?
