Anymore idea? thanks. If you trust those with root access on your system, you can use the /etc/nsmb.conf file and configure that with the proper info for the remote server: [HOST:USER:SHARE_NAME] addr=HOST_IP password=USER_password_on_remote_system workgroup=domain/workgroup ... then edit your fstab to something like: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE /mountpointsmbfs rw,-N,-I=remote system ip 0 0 USER, HOST, SHARE are the same as in the nsmb.conf file, and I've found that these are often case sensitive. If the password is listed in nsmb.conf, then the -N in the fstab entry will use that password and not require you to enter it. Once done, a simple mount /mountpoint should get you on your way.

>I wanted to mount our samba server whenever my > computer boots so I added an entry in fstab like this OK that is not really answering your question, but... Given that the samba server is a Unix machine, given that your client is a Unix machine, maybe NFS would be more efficient than samba fro sharing the disks...

How can I specify the ipaddress in smbfs entry in fstab?
Good day! I wanted to mount our samba server whenever my computer boots so I added an entry in fstab like this mountpt //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mp3 but I have no idea how will I specify the ip address of the server. using the mount_smbfs, I can mount it by providing the "-I ipaddress" option. Do you know how will I tell the fstab to add that information? I've been reading the fstab manpages and also the mount_smbfs but nothing helps. I've also edited /etc/nsmb.conf and added the some entries according to instructions but it still won't work. I mounted it manually by issuing: $mount /mp3 and I get this error: smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Operation timed out Is there any shell environment variable where I can set this value?
