mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Operation timed out
I used some non-default kernel options to have more RAM (PAE). On one BSD machine this command works and mounts as expected. On another one it fails: bsd# mount_smbfs -I 192.168.1.10 //administrator@mpa-fnp/restorereports /mnt/reports mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Operation timed out The difference between the machines is the kernel options and one failing is behind a router, but I don't think any ports are blocked. Both are 6.1servers: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE (PAE) <--- problem server behind router FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE (GENERIC) <--- works Any ideas?

Both are 6.1servers:I would take some extra time to turn "think" into "know" before wasting any time pissing around with kernels. The above error sounds like a routing and/or port-blocked issue. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
