I have a home network based on Win XP Pro, with one Linux machine
running Red Hat 9. All updates have been applied. There's no domain
controller.
I can connect from the Linux machine to the XP machines via Konqueror
using
smb://mymachine/myshare
However, I can't use the mount command.
I'm trying to use syntax like
mount -t smbfs -o username=myname,password=mypwd //192.168.0.1
/win/myshare
But I always just get a print-out showing command usage, and then
demonstrating the exact syntax that I am using.
I got this from The Unofficial Samba HOWTO
http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/index.html
A few other sites have demonstrated the same syntax. Samba seems to have
been correctly compiled for mounting.
I'm assuming Samba is basically working, or else I couldn't connect via
Konqueror.
