Hi! I am using samba server.I am running windows client as well as linux server.Due to some problem I have to format my windows xp client.Before formatting I can easily share the resources between windows xp and linux.To access the windows share from linux I just have to do this: mount -t smbfs -o username=ibrahim,password=ibrahim //192.168.0.168/ibrahim /mnt/share I couldn copy and paste easily from linux to windows and vice versa.After formatting windows pc the above command does not work.It shows this output 10168: Session request to 192.168.0.168 failed (called name not present) Please help me Thanx _________________________________________________________________ One and only Ash.
