have problem with samba
smbclient -L skrappur Added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Session request failed (131,130) with myname=HRAPPUR destname=SKRAPPUR Called name not present Try to connect to another name (instead of SKRAPPUR) You may find the -I option useful for this this did work when skrappur was running in Linux Red Had 5.2 but this happened when it was running windows 98. anyone got any idea? TIA Ari Sigurðsson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: smbumount doesn't
if rebooting the puter is a solution to samba problem then
perhaps a restart of samba is enough?
try
/etc/init.d/samba
Usage: /etc/init.d/samba {start|stop|restart}
