Mounting Zaurus On Linux Using Smbmount

[jeffbarish]

/usr/sbin/inetd appears in the output of ps -ef.

smbclient -L produces the following output:

added interface ip=192.168.1.102 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=192.168.129.1 bcast=192.168.129.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

I am again getting the message "Invalid network name in tree connect" when I run the mount command.

Problem solved.

It is necessary to mount a share, not a directory.  According to smbclient -L zaurus, home is a share, not home/zaurus (which is what I had specified in the mount command).  When I specified home in the mount command, it worked:

mount -t smbfs //192.168.129.201/home /mnt/zaurus -o password=""

Note that it was not necessary to add any lines to smb.conf (nor to change it from the default in any other way).

I am still troubled that ping <client> from the Zaurus produces the error message "Network is unreachable".  Any idea what that's about?

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

As I said if you are using wlan or other interfaces you would need to modify the interface = line as follows...

interfaces = usbd0, wlan0, eth0

(this adds wlan0 and eth0)... for usb only then the default should be find.

What exactly are you trying to ping? Can you not ping your Linux system? (on the IP address assigned to the USB interface)

[jeffbarish]

Ah, I see what you mean.  I was using the IP address assigned to eth0, which is not the interface to the Zaurus.  When I use the IP address assigned to that interface (usb0), pinging the Linux box from the Zaurus works fine.  Thanks again.  I'm rolling now.
