[Samba] Cannot connect WinXP

[Stepen Liu]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your response.

Yes.   That is the complete content of /etc/samba/smb.conf

Re-tried
# mount -t smbfs //M40G/Shared /mnt/WinXP
params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: 
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: 
192.168.0.1 M40G
params.c:Parameter() - Unexpected end-of-file at: 192.168.0.254 server.ltsp
Password:       (there is no password.  I just hit  [Enter]

It seems connected but I could not find the shared folder of WinXP
# cd /mnt/WinXP/
# ls
#

/etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1            localhost.localdomain     localhost
192.168.0.1        M40G   
192.168.0.254    server.ltsp    server

(Remark:  

1)  The server is a LTSP server.  M40G (PC) works as a standalone WS and 
Diskless Workstation as well
2)  In this test I change the last 2nd line to read as "192.168.0.1 
 M40G.  Before it reads as "192.168.0.1  ws001")

However I could not find /path/to/smb.conf

However to change those badly formed lines in /etc/smb.conf?

Thanks

Stephen Liu
