myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: samba.dsl

I can't get samba.dsl to work. I can browse the windows shares but when I try to mount a share I get an error (can't resolve address). Any ideas.

Do you have a Wins server? If you turn on logging you will probably see the -o option for ip is being set to null. You need to have the machine name to ip mapping setup.

You should be able to mount manually? Such as:

smbmount //your.ip.of.windows/sharename /mnt/test -o username=YourWinUserName

Your right. It does work manually. I guess I need to setup WINS.

Thanks,

Actually, I am not to sure. You see, I will be the first to admit that Windows is not my area. I know the commands work via CLI. That the GUI calls those commands. Therefore you would think... But the logging shows that it is expecting some type of mapping, lmhosts, nmbd, or WINS. If you make progress please share.

If you have a look at the samba related how tos at the Linux Documentation Project or go to the samba.org page theres some guides there.
