I was able to mount //jgsvr/DataShare /mnt/jgsvr and see a disk that is on an XP machine from a SuSE machine. Trouble is I'm at a stage where I don't know why or how it worked :-) I did have Samba running. -- Jeff Gaines - Damerham Hampshire UK Using XanaNews 1.17.5.9

This indicates a simple IP addressing, or networking problem. The IP address you pinged in on a different network, and there is no route to this network. Most likely if they are all on the same LAN (plugged in and configured), is that the sub-net masks are not consistent. Post IP address and sub-net mask of the two machines - if you can't work it out. ifconfig will show this on the Linux box. Windows it'll be ipconfig (from cmd) or "winipcfg", or from the network icon properties or from the connection properties. Oh and the route to it gets renamed again in Vista.

Mount works just as well on smbfs as it does on NFS. Options are a little different, you have to supply a password and you will probably have to specify a workgroup to get authentication to work. Does mean that you must have smbfs support compiled into the kernel (inline or as a module). Having said that most distros seem to provide that as standard.

But I can't connect to the internet using IE whilst my Linux box is connected. Do you know how I can do that? Ian. |
