I've downloaded the Samba GUI and I can see the computers but it won't let me mount them...any suggestions?

In the gui you have to specify which username/password it will mount it as...

Of course, all this help depends on the assumption that you have already visited the myDSL repository and installed the "samba.dsl" extension for your computer system.

Sometimes I like to point out the obvious in case it was over-looked.

I use the program called WinISO to open the downloaded .iso of DSL and put the samba.dsl on it (the unregistered "shareware" version will only support 100Megs or smaller, so it still will work!) (but for $30 its the most useful program I have purchaced)

Any/all new cd's I burn have samba.dsl built in from the start...this way I have network file share capability from the getgo!

If you don't mind a little command line action I like to do

Code Sample

mount dsl-1.5.iso /mnt/test

To open the ISO in the directory /mnt/test. I do this for frugal upgrades but there is nothing stopping you from going to that dir, adding dsl files and doing

Code Sample

mkisofs -no-pad -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -o newiso.iso /mnt/test

Basically the same thing as using the mkmydsl script in the menu. No MB limitations

I have successfully mount the windows share folders with LinNeighborhood. However, the samba server doesn't seem to mount after the 4th level of the windows share. Any help?
