Using an Ubuntu Server install as a desktop? Interesting . . .
Anyway, are you certain the server is resolving the computer names to IP addresses?
Regardless, here is the command you need. I just tested it on my Ubuntu 6.06 server and it works:
mount -t smbfs -o lfs,username=your.domain.username,password=your.password //computer.or.server.name/share.name /local.path.you.are.mounting.to/subdirectory.if.you.want/
You can leave out the password if you want and enter it manually. Give this a shot and see what happens. Oh, make sure a firewall isn't blocking your connection on either end as well.
Hope that helps. Aaron Kincer Nick Black wrote:
Hello, I am trying to use Samba to let me mount windows network drives on an Ubuntu Dapper Server installation that I am using as a desktop. Using: testparm my smb.conf seems to be ok. Using smbclient -L GM.local -U username -p Gives me a full listing of all network drives, which again seems to be good. So now I try this: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=username \//GM.local/DC4 /mnt/win_share/ Password: 25031: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) SMB connection failed Then i tried the same command again: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=username \//GM.local/DC4 /mnt/win_share/ cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 25115: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed I seem to get different error messages for no apparent reason. If anyone can suggest a way for me to mount these network drives, please help. BTW - I can connect to the network folders using CIFS on my Mac, so I know that I have the correct settings (although I cant find the printers from my Mac) Thanks in advance Nick
