Hi all, I'm trying to connect to a share on an NT server from a Redhat Linux 7.2 server with the following command: smbmount //Fac-Staff/tansley$ /home/tomansley/law_share -o username=LAW\\tansley,password=realpassword The same command works from my linux workstation!!! Anybody got any clue as to what might be holding me up? I was thinking maybe my firewall but am not sure. Any help most appreciated Cheers Tom Ansley
I forgot to add the error message for the problem.....sorry I get wins-srv-died(): WINS server 130.253.166.42 appears to be down. Connection to Fac-Staff failed But, as I mentioned before, I can connect fine from my workstation.

What happens if you add ip=<ip# of the Fac-Staff machine> to the list of mount options? And since you mentioned a firewall you probably have a rule that is blocking some traffic you need for this to work, try looking at the fw logfiles. /Urban
