I wish to mount a Windows network share in Linux (Windows running WinXP) I can successfully connect to the Windows network share with smbclient: smbclient //andyson01/clientfiles -U victor%password But when I try to mount this share with the following: smbmount //andyson01/clientfiles /home/victor/client -o username=victor password=password I get the following error messages: (the directory "client" exists before trying the smbmount command) "cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 2172: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed" I can use the smbmount for shared directories on another Windows 98 machine. I am new to Linux, and would appreciate any help. Victor Warner

Kurt, Does "client use spnego = yes" get placed in /etc/samba/smb.conf? If it does it does not appear to be make any difference. Still get the same message even after using the revised smbmount commands suggested. Any other help would be gratefully received....
