Yes I can give u 2 ideas. First try adding uid=(your user id) and gid=(your group id) at the end of your mount line. Second and this I've just tried on my maschine: mount -t smbfs -o rw "\\\\userserver\\share" '/path/to/mountpoint' Remark the ticks. Make sure the shares excists and have the right permissions.You are then prompted for the windoze passwd and u give that. --- ben <benp07@earthlink.net> skrev: > i am running freebsd 4.6.2> i am using this command to mount a windows share > from windows xp > mount_smbfs //user@server/share_name > /path/to/mount_point > and everytime i get this message > mount_smbfs: can't get server address: ssyerr > operation timed out > i have also tried this command > mount -t smbfs //user@server/share_name > /path/to/mount_point > and get the same message > > can any one give me some ideas to try > thanks alot > Ben > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following > URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba====http://home.no.net/~knutove/knut_ove_hauge_kuren.htm ______________________________________________________ Se den nye Yahoo!

The uid and gid parameters for the 'local' view aka unix view.> and everytime i get this message > mount_smbfs: can't get server address: ssyerr = operation timed out > i have also tried this command > mount -t smbfs //user@server/share_name /path/to/mount_point > and get the same message-- Frank Matthie? fm+samba@Microdata-pos.de
