I am trying to mount one of my windows shares...
I have read to use nmblookup to find the netbios name of the share I have created, but I can't seem to find nmblookup! I have read that it is part of samba, but it is not in any directory I can find... Any help would be appreciated - I would love to get smbmount working and this seems to be my stumbling block (just using mount -t smbfs - //192.168.1.100/mp3 //mnt/smb/mp3 is not working! Then I can sleep tonight...

I have no idea what your config is on either side (zaurus/win) but the more specific you are with smbmount the better. For my win98 box, this works for me:
smbmount //host_name/sharename /zaurus/mountname -o username=username,password=password,ip=ip where host_name is the name of the win98 box, sharename is the name of the share on the win98 box, mountname is a existing directory on the zaurus, username is a valid user on the win98 box, password is the pw of the user and ip is the ip of the win98 box. hth.

Hi Robert - thank you for the help.
Here is the command I am typing (192.168.1.100 is the ip of the winxp box, K is the share name, there is no password or login (I have it set to allow everyone in the WinXP share) # # smbmount //192.168.1.100/K /zaurus/mp3 I get: unrecognized character set 866 unrecognized character set 866 Could not resolve mount point /zaurus/mp3 I have created a directory called //mnt/smb/mp3 where (I think) it mounts to? Any pointers? Thank you. |

While we're on the subject, is there compiled version of smbclient somewhere? I prefer smbclient to smbmount because its less crash prone (all user space).

If you are allowing access to all to your share, you still need to provide a valid user/password to get access. Also if you have created a directory called "/mnt/smb/mp3" then that is what you should use. I think this may work for you:
smbmount //192.168.1.100/K /mnt/smb/mp3 -o username=validuser,password=validpassword If not then swap the ip with your computer name, add workgroup and ip. You may also need to run this command as root. |
