Hi,
The problem sounds very easy, but I can't resolve it.
Samba is running on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and computer, on which I want to
mount a volume use Ubuntu too.
So, I'm typing to Terminal
/sudo mount -t cifs //myhost-main/Shared /mnt/myhost-shared/
I returns an error:
/mount error: could not find target server. TCP name
myhost-main/Shared not found
No ip address specified and hostname not found
/
However, when I use an IP address instead of hostname it works. I can't
use an IP address because DHCP assigns random addresses (however, every
address starts with 192.168.0.x) and I will not be able to automount
volume on startup by a entry in fstab file.
Help, please. What's wrong and what can I do?
Best Regards,
Rafal Ryba
