SME Server 6.0.1 as standalone (Domain controler, mail & file server) samba version 2.2.8a I have a win95 machine on my network logged onto the domain with it's d drive shared with full access and no password. On server-manager I have setup a hostname for this machine based on mac address so that the DHCP server gives it the same IP every time. I have created a directory /mnt/win I can ping the machine name 'tarryn' When I try: mount -t smbfs //tarryn/d /mnt/win I get the error: Connection to tarryn failed SMB connection failed If I try: mount -t smbfs //tarryn/d /mnt/win -o ip=192.168.196.44 then I get the error: session request to TARRYN failed (Called name not present) session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present) Can anyone please help, I am desperate! Thanks Scott

Is samba running (may be a stupid question) Can you instead of using the name, try the IP address? mount -t smbfs //192,168.196.44/d /mnt/win (is it really named d? of d$) how about mount -t smbfs -o guest //192,168.196.44/d /mnt/win or try listing the shares smbclient -L 192,168.196.44 and please reply to the list. -- Ow Mun Heng Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 on D600 1.4Ghz CPU kernel 2.6.7-2.jul1-interactive Neuromancer 17:31:49 up 1 day, 8:15, 7 users, load average: 0.67, 0.70, 0.76
