They should not be different, but keep in mind that there is no code sharing between FreeBSD kernel and Linux kernel, so the implementations are different and will behave differently. Demonstration (note that ls /mnt shows no files, but there are files): Never had such problems, though I can not comment about the windows OS involved, since I am just a client to them. FreeBSD from 4.x to 6.2-STABLE work for me. I recall one problem with file sizes over 4GB, which was corrected circa 4.8 - 4.9. Did you try creating a file? Did you check dmesg for warnings? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Daniel, If you look at 'man mount_smbfs' you'll see in the examples they recommend using the '-I' option to specify the name (or IP address) of the host machine. This method works for me, mounting Windows XP shared-directories onto my FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE machine. So you would try a command like mount_smbfs -I rm316.DOMAINNAME.TLD //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/backup /mnt You can also mount the filesystem automatically by adding a line to your /etc/fstab file, //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/backup /mnt smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 Hope this helps.
