Naturally, you tinker around with stuff long enough and you break it. I am running Samba 2.2.2 on a Corel linux box and am attempting to connect to a share on a windows XP system. At one point, this was working fine. Then I spent time trying to reconfigure my kernel so that I could attach a floppy tape drive and now I can connect with smbclient to the share, but I cannot with smbmount. I have verified that smbfs is selected in the kernel config. Is there anything else that anyone can think of that I could have botched up? I have already tried reinstalling samba as well. thanks, Chris
No idea. Try: smbmount \\\\server\\share /mnt/yourmountpoint -o debug=6 1>logfile Them, look over what is in logfile.

Beyond having smbfs working, you need smbmount linked as /sbin/mount.smbfs if you use mount to mount, and you need smbmnt in a place where smbmount can find it (in your path or in the samba installations "bindir"). /Urban
dmesg contains a "SMBFS: need mount version 6" message. I am running kernel version 2.2.14 and have found some information on the error message itself. One question I have is if I upgrade my kernel to 2.2.20, will that take care of the problem?
