The fstab entry for mounting my router's smb share looks like this (all on one line of course): //192.168.7.5/chris /mnt/router smbfs credentials=/root/.routercreds,uid=chris,umask=0744 0 0 you can probably ignore the credentials part. the share is named chris on the other machine. hope this helps Chris </pre> </blockquote> Okay, the computer I am mounting is my brothers, and he downloads crap all the time (game hacks, cheats, paintball videos, etc...), so I want to be able to check it often for viruses. I already do this from Windows, but I am rarely running windows anymore. In windows, my computer's name is ANDREW and his is CARL. From network neighborhood, the pathanme is //CARL/C. In fstab, I tried doing //192.168.1.101/C and //192.168.1.101/CARL/C and 192.168.1.101/CARL, and I tried all in lower-case too, but I am still getting an error: Called: mount //192.168.1.101/carl/c 2994: session request to 192.168.1.101 failed (Called name not present) 2994: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present) 2994: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present) SMB connection failed What next? </body> </html>
