I have sucessfully installed samba 2.2.8a from the port collection, and when using my windows machine I can browse shares I defines in my smb.conf perfectly. However when I try to mount the windows share from freebsd I get the following mount_smbfs -I 198.168.1.3 //mick@198.168.1.3/C$ /mnt/2k Password: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Connection reset by peer However the share is active because of the following smbclient -L 198.168.1.3 can't determine netmask for 192.168.1.1 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 session request to 198.168.1.3 failed (Called name not present) session request to 198 failed (Called name not present) Password: Domain=[MSHOME] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC Remote IPC D$ Disk Default share print$ Disk Printer Drivers ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin C$ Disk Default share LexmarkZ Printer Lexmark Z11 Series ColorFine Server Comment --------- ------- MICKS2 Workgroup Master --------- ------- MSHOME MICKS2 I used to mount this machine using samba no problem under Linux, but under freeBSD 5.1 it is proving to be a problem. I also recently installed the latest service pack on the win2k box, could this be a issue? i.e Change my 2k setting to use plain text paswords? Thanks for any comments
