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?
