What I've done so far:
Studied man samba
Connected to my parents XP box on my LAN (two different connections, even).

He's connected directly to the gateway. No firewall.
mount -t smbfs -o username=somename,password=somepass
//s.o.m.e.i.p/F /chris/
21287: session request to s.o.m.e.i.p. failed (Called name not present)
21287: session request to s failed (Called name not present)
21287: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an
invalid share name)
SMB connection failed
But the command works when I use:
mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=somepass //hal9001/C /linux/ ((box
on lan))
What am I missing/doing wrong?
