Hi all, Hoping you can help me out here. I've got a RH8 system and a winxp system at home. I finally got around to messing around with samba to connect the two together. First I just thought I'd go one way and attempt to mount a shared folder from my windows computer. So I typed: smbmount //jonnerxp/SharedDocs/ /mnt/jonnerxp I typed in my password, and sure enough, there were all the documents. I proceeded to smbumount this share and tried a different share, jonnerdocs. I typed my password again, and it seemed to work, but when I went to /mnt/jonnerxp/ and typed 'ls' i got an error that said something like "stale NFS file handle". So I tried smbumount and it told me I couldn't do it. so I just did a regular old umount and it seemed to do something. Now, however whenever I try either of those shares, it give me the following error: 3120: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) I know the share name is valid though because I did it just 20 minutes ago. I can also see them when I type smbclient -L jonnerxp: added interface ip=10.0.0.101 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 10.0.0.100 ( 10.0.0.100 ) Domain=[HOME] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC Remote IPC print$ Disk Printer Drivers SharedDocs Disk HPLaserJ Printer HP LaserJet 4L jonnerdocs Disk Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- Any ideas?? _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
